using fonts -- installation

[r.ermers@hccnet.nl]

Dear Contexers,

I'm logging in through webmail, so right now I cannot try your suggestions but I will as soon as I get home. I already thank everybody for responding.

I am puzzled by this line which Hans wrote:

\definetypeface[johanna][rm][serif][palatino][default]

Hans further writes that [serif][palatino] is the main typescript filter and that [rm] is mapped on to [serif][palatino]

I don't quite grasp this.

- Why exactly do I have to refer to [serif][palatino]?
- Do you mean that palatino serves as a default which has to be remapped when a new font is installed?
- Where is this status of palatino registered? 
- And why did you chose palatino, rather than another typeface?

Thanks again,

Robert
