Hello,

having been absent from the One and Only True Typesetting System for quite some time I'd like to try to write my software-documentation in MK IV.

Now I have several instances of a Frutiger font (ttf) and I guess I need to create a typescript. 

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all gives me 

frutigerce45light                            frutigercelight                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf
frutigerce45lightlight                       frutigercelight                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf
frutigerce55roman                            frutigerceroman                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf
frutigerce55romannormal                      frutigerceroman                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf

frutigerltlight                              frutigerltlight                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf
frutigerltlightitalic                        frutigerltlightitalic              /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 46 Light Italic.ttf
frutigerltroman                              frutigerltroman                    /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf

Can I use this information to create a typescript? Where should I look for documentation on it? The wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts) is MK II only. The font chapter from the reference manual confuses me, as it deals a lot with encodings and I have not found an instruction as "If you need to install a new font family, do this and this and that". Does such a list exist? Can someone point me to instructions?

I know I should have asked last week... 

Patrick

See type-otf.mkiv
It's more simple than it seems.

Yes it is, thanks! 
What is the use of

\starttypescriptcollection[mytypescripts]
...
\stoptypescriptcollection

?

typescripts can be preloaded and then this is the container; from the 
user point of view you can also consider it to be metainfo
