After pouring over all the mentions of typescripts here and there, I can't make sense of them. For example, I used to be able to write font definition files that would automatically shift between different design sizes depending on what font size was called for. How to do that here? Not a clue. Finally I settled on trying simplefonts. The two lines of documentation in Context Garden are: \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[Delicious] % set Delicious as main (serif) font I tried this at home: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[garamondpremrpro] and, indeed, it loads Garamond, but normal ligatures (e.g. ffi) are broken, TeX ligatures (e.g. ---) are broken, small caps are broken, etc. It doesn't even take advantage of the superior figures for the footnote marks, which are now tiny, spindly things. The documentation that comes with the module is one line long: \simplefont[][..,..=..,..] followed by a list of OpenType features. So, I tried it: \simplefont[garamondpremrpro] [features=liga] It doesn't seem to do anything. Even standard ligatures don't work. -- m ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
