Dear Hans, I fully understand that such complex typescripts can be the only way to use full-featured professional fonts. But if I have only one ttf with one kind of typeface in it, should I write it all? XeTeX style was very appealing for many people, and verbose font definitions may distract these users. But anyway, thank you for escaping us from TeX-specific font hell :) Let me restate my question: is the following definition is really MINIMAL or it can be further reduced in some way? \starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[vladimirscript] \setupbodyfont [vladimirscript, 12pt] -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
