No. Some of the old typescripts did use different names. > Other question: how are related the > three following parameters (rm, serif and garamondpp)? rm is the font that gets activated by default with \setupbodyfont. You can get the ss font by saying \setupbodyfont[GaramondPP,ss]. I do not know why serif and sans (the third argument of \definetypescript are needed, it seems to be reduntant. > And finally, > what's the point of the 'default' argument? You can create variants of fonts. For example, for math fonts, one has to occasionally use ams instead of default, this loads some of the definitions from \definemathcollection[ams]. I don't know what is loaded for non-math fonts.
