Well, "misunderstood" is not the right word - it seems I just don't understand it yet... I looked a bit at the type-otf.tex file. At the beginning, it says something like "\starttypescriptcollection[examples]". Typescripts from this \start...\stop block work correctly (with the exception of Antykwa Torunska). Typescripts from the outside don't work (with the exception of Heros). Maybe I should mimick these definitions somehow? Still, the cases of Antykwa Torunska and Heros are mysterious to me. The table 1.7 you mentioned is also a bit strange: it mentions palatino as "commercial". What I was aiming at was: how to (easily) use the fonts "shipped with ConTeXt" (i.e., the Minimals). I would expect them to be usable "out of the box"; if they are not, please consider this a bug report/feature request;). In fact, I would expect something like \useptypescript[pagella] \setupbodyfont[pagella] work for the whole collection in the Minimals. (BTW, why is pagella called palatino etc? I guess that some aliases could also be default?) And thanks for the answer - I'm continuosly learning ConTeXt. It seems that it's not as nice and easy as I thought - but I hope that once I start using it, more and more things will clarify. > > Best wishes, > Taco Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) <>< ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
