Or is this something I'm doing wrong > (and what)? Give us more information, what format does your Garamond font has (type1, truetype or opentype). Have you tried to load the font without ConTeXts interface: \font\garamond="AGaramond-Regular:mapping=tex-text" \garamond fi ffi -- --- ``text'' fl \bye Can you try to test your typescript with MkIV if this makes a difference and finally, what is the output from "mtxrun --script fonts --list AGaramond* --info".
