Hi,

like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph 
Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems 
to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to 
start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I 
can't put it together.

I downloaded a rsfs.zip from [1] containing .mf, .pfb, .afm, .pfm files 
and a .map file. It seems to be a type1 font.

The manual [2] states, that a script texfont.pl can do install the font. 
Mojca said [3] on the mailing list that texfont is not the way to go, so 
I didn't try to go further in that direction.

Do I need .tfm files? If so, how to get them?

I put the "rsfs" directory with its subdirs from the .zip to the folder
c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\data\ as Wolfgang suggested [4] and ran 
"context --generate". I seems as if this did not install the font, but I 
have no idea. How can I check this?

\definefont[rsfs][file:rsfs*default]
\starttext
\rsfs ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
\stoptext

just gave me the alphabet in default font. Is there a way to ask ConTeXt 
which fonts (or does ConTeXt "know" typescripts?) it knows?

In addition, I tried the example from Hans and Otared at [5] which 
crashes on my installation (error log appended at the end).

I don't know how to proceed here. Hopefully someone from this list can 
assist me. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Stefan
