I am currently trying to get the mara font loaded into XeTeX. Here's some information about the font (via fontforge): file: marafont.ttf Fontname: MaraFontNFPlain: Family Name: MaraFontNF Plain: (yes, the colons are in the name) I've tried a couple of ways, using both the fontname and the family name, both with and without the ending semi-colons; however, it fails at compile time. Here's some sample code: \definetypeface[Mara][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNF Plain] \starttext \startfont[Mara] This is a test. \stoptext Here's the relevant output from the log file, which looks very similar to the output of a font that works: ! Font \**\thedefinedfont**:=Mara at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. <to be read again> \relax \dododefinefont ...ontspec {#2}\rawfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \redodefinefont #1#2#3->\dododefinefont {#1}{#2} \doifsetupselse {#3} {\setup... \dodefinedfont ...ring \thedefinedfont \endcsname \the \everydefinedfont l.7 \startfont[Mara] ? !

How do I get the font loaded? Thanks, Bart
