With
\setmainfont[AGaramondPro]
it works! The first and second does not work.

It seems, that with Simplefont it is "nicer", in the following sence: The distance between a capital of a beginning word to the next letter it better typed, f.e. in "Hans Meier" the distance of "H" to "ans" could be too much in the typescript example, but is perfect with Simplefont.

\showfontkerns works with Simplefont, but not with Typescript. More
precisely:
This shows kerning:
+++++++++++++
\showfontkerns
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[AGaramondPro][boldfont=AGaramondPro-Bold,
italicfont=AGaramondPro-Italic, bolditalicfont=AGaramondPro-BoldItalic,
protrusion=quality, expansion=quality]
\setupalign[hz, hanging]
\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext
++++++++++++++
But this one not:
+++++++++++++
\showfontkerns
\starttypescript [serif] [nimbus]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf]
\stoptypescript
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] [default] [features=default]
\setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext
++++++++++++++++
Where the mistake?
And independent from that: That the kerning is different, is for sure
(by visual inspection). How can the showing in numbers (showkerning)
help to understand the reason for this difference? (Just interested to
learn more about ConTeXt, of course I am not able to fix anything or
understand it by myself).
