Hello List,
I'm also part of the design group Open Source Publishing (like Femke who ask about same entry to multiple registers a month ago). Our book is building, and it's now time to add our own custom open fonts. Quite new in the TeX field, and having traveled a bit through LaTex and Xetex, I couln't figure how to make it work. I guess that the TeX way of doing it is to write a map file, but maybe is it possible to avoid it, like with the Xetex shortcut?
Thanks for these superquick answers! What a lively list! @Wolfgang : You remember me that and it's helpful in many cases. But my font sit in the list... Any other idea? ... DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique Liberation Serif:style=Bold Italic InitiationRitualFont:style=Regular Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Oblique Linux Libertine:style=Bold ... @Mojca : (yes for sure, you're right that I need a backup! Job for the week-end) Oh yes, I've forgot the version... I've install ConTeXt two months ago, not sure how to check the version of it : ctxtools --version CtxTools | version 1.3.3 - 2004/2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD And XeTeX 3.141592-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6) kpathsea version 3.5.6 Copyright 2007 SIL International.

Sorry for that question which may seem *very* basic! Pierre
