I was probing into the font variant mechanism.
This did not work, th Light font could not be made to typeset:
\starttypescript [calligraphy] [mathtimeyy] [name]
\definefontsynonym [CalligraphyRegular] [Calligraphy]
\definefontsynonym [Calligraphy] [MathTimes-Calligraphy]
\definefontsynonym [CalligraphyBold] [MathTimes-CalligraphyBold]
\definefontvariant [Calligraphy] [light] [-Light]
\definefontsynonym [CalligraphyRegular-Light] [MathTimes-
CalligraphyLight]
\definefontsynonym [CalligraphyBold-Light] [MathTimes-
CalligraphyLightBold]
\stoptypescript
But changing Calligraphy into Serif in the last three lines
\definefontvariant [Serif] [light] [-Light]
\definefontsynonym [SerifRegular-Light] [MathTimes-
CalligraphyLight]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold-Light] [MathTimes-
CalligraphyLightBold]
it seems to work.
QUESTION: Is the variant mechanism exclusively tied to the series
Serif (\rm) and Sans (\ss)?
If otherwise, what am I doing wrong then?
yours sincerely,

Yes, pretty much, in the implementation's design.

Nothing. Except, is that Math Calligraphy font really suited to setting
text? :)

more precisely, it;s related to rm|ss|tt (mapped onto Serif Sans Mono)
