Is there a document anywhere that would be the equivalent of
"Typescripts for Dummies?" (as if such a book really existed)
I am trying to write some typescripts for the Venturis ADF and Beneris
ADF families (and a few others) using Wolfgang's typescripts for Fontin
et. al. as a guide. I can't seem to figure out what, "\s!" or
"\typescripttwo" of "\typescriptthree" do and the examples I have looked
at on the wiki either don't contain them or don't explain them .
I also don't seem to be able to find a command reference for
\starttypescript which explains what the various option fields mean or
what "predefined" values exist for each.
Sorry for the newbie questions but I don't know where else to ask.

I guess real documentation is a fantastic booklet:

The \s!… string are a method to save memory in TeX but you don’t have to use it, just use “serif” instead of “\s!serif”.
With \typescriptone etc. you can access the value in the arguments for \starttypescripts, e.g. in the following example
\starttypescript [serif] [venturis]
\typescriptone expands to “serif” and \typescripttwo expands to “venturis”.

The first argument of \starttypescript can be
- serif
- sans
- mono
- handwriting
- calligraphy
and the first argument of \definefontsynonym can be
– Serif
- SerifItalic
- SerifBold
- SerifSlanted
- SerifBoldItalic
- SerifBoldSlanted
- SerifCaps
- Sans
- SansItalic
– …
- Mono
- MonoItalic
- …
- Handwriting
- Calligraphy

Thank you Wolfgang!!
I've used LaTeX off and on since the 1980's but never did anything with
Plain TeX so that's why I did not recognize the \s! .
