All the tex-gyre run well.

Yes, it work. What do you mean by « typescript » ? For calling linux
libertine, I tried this :
\definefontsynonym [LinLibertine] [LinLibertineC_Re]
\definedfont [LinLibertine at 12pt]
and this :
\definefontsynonym [LinLibertine] [name:LinLibertineO]
\definedfont [LinLibertine at 12pt]
nothing work.

I get the name with otfinfo -i
I don't creat a special file for using LinLibertine… but other fonts
like the free Tally[1] run well.
Sorry but fonts use are still strange for me…

If I understand well, if mtxrun can't build a « database » with my
fonts, names can't work ?

Olivier.
