Hello,

having been absent from the One and Only True Typesetting System for quite some time I'd like to try to write my software-documentation in MK IV.

Now I have several instances of a Frutiger font (ttf) and I guess I need to create a typescript.

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all gives me

Can I use this information to create a typescript? Where should I look for documentation on it? The wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts) is MK II only. The font chapter from the reference manual confuses me, as it deals a lot with encodings and I have not found an instruction as "If you need to install a new font family, do this and this and that". Does such a list exist? Can someone point me to instructions? See type-otf.mkiv It's more simple than it seems.
