Hi all,

I know that there was earlier a thread dealing with this subject…. However I needed to typeset a title in a typeface with a medieval look. One of the choices is “Maximilian” a ttf font (free font).

I put the font in texmf-fonts/data.

The  mtxrun --script font --list --info --all maximilian gives:

mtx-fonts       | mapping : maximilian
mtx-fonts       | fontname: maximilian
mtx-fonts       | fullname: maximilian
mtx-fonts       | filename: Maximilian.ttf
mtx-fonts       | family  : maximilian
mtx-fonts       | weight  : normal
mtx-fonts       | style   : normal
mtx-fonts       | width   : normal
mtx-fonts       | variant : normal
mtx-fonts       | subfont : 
mtx-fonts       | fweight : conflict: book
mtx-fonts       |
mtx-fonts       | gsub features:
mtx-fonts       |
mtx-fonts       | feature  script   languages
mtx-fonts       |
mtx-fonts       | tlig     all      all     
mtx-fonts       | trep     all      all

I tried in a classical way:

\starttypescript[serif][medieval]
	 \definefontsynonym[serif][file:Maximilian][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[medieval]
	 \definetypeface[Maximilian][rm][serif][medieval][default]
 \stoptypescript

\usetypescript[medieval]

\setupbodyfont[Maximilian,rm,12pt]

I tried also the new approach

 \definefontfamily[Medieval][rm][Maximilian][features=default]
 \setupbodyfont[Medieval,12pt]

In both cases I end up with an empty page, because the font is not fount. — What do I miss?

Kind regards

Willi
