urw garamond typescript

["Peter Münster" <pmlists@free.fr>]

Great, now it works!  (with luatex-r1188 and context-beta)


The typescript from Hans at the end of this message works fine.
Some questions for my understanding:
- Why 2 \starttypescript-\stoptypescript sections, and not 1?
- What does "\setups[font:fallback:serif]" mean?
- What is \definetypeface for?
- What is the meaning of each parameter of \definetypeface?
- Why does the third \starttypescript only have one parameter and no
  [serif]?

After playing around with the typescript, I got the following minmal
typescript, that seems to give the same result:

\starttypescript [urwgaramond]
   \definefontsynonym [Serif]           [file:GaramondNo8-Reg]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]       [file:GaramondNo8-Med]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]     [file:GaramondNo8-Ita]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:GaramondNo8-MedIta]
   \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [] [serif] [\typescriptone]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[urwgaramond]
\setupbodyfont[urwgaramond]

I strongly believe, that Hans' typescript is better, could somebody explain
why?

Cheers, Peter
