You can also put the goodies files and the typescript file in the same folder as your test files which makes it easier to test them and to make changes. When you’re finished you can let us take a look at them and Hans can add them to the core.

Two files: kpfonts-math.lfg and testfile004.tex.

It works rather well with the formulas of that file: https://github.com/khaledhosny/euler-otf/blob/master/tests/test.tex.

Main issue: $\bf \Gamma$ produces "medium" \Gamma, though: ["kpfonts-bf"] = {... { name = "jkpbmia", vector = "tex-mr", skewchar=0x7F }, should make it bold. Why is this vector never selected?

Other issue: Two consecutive \Gamma, are overlapping a lot.

In case I add a vector for a script font which is in jkpsyd.pfb. What font switch would be used to select this vector (vector="tex-md")?

I tried the example of "Problem to install Garamond font with mathdesign". It for me, save I encounter exactly the same problems as those I've described for KPfonts, using, in fact, "mathdesign" as template. (Note: it's pure ConTEXt-standalone: I do not have these fonts in my TeX-Live tree. Though I do have these fonts, installed manually, from ctan, in my local "${HOME}/texmf/fonts/" tree.) % file: test.tex \loadtypescriptfile[mathdesign] \starttext $\Gamma\Gamma\bf\Gamma$ \setupbodyfont[garamond] $\Gamma\Gamma\bf\Gamma$ \stoptext (Gammas are squeezed together and \bf is ineffective, which is not so with modern). If the assumption that "mdugmr7m.tfm" contains the metrics for "md-gmm7m.pfb" is correct, then fontforge show it (mdugmr7m), contains bold characters, which then should show. Again, I might be misunderstanding. Chris
