What does context need to find the font?

mtxrun --script font --reload

will generate a font database which will provide access by name

I created the table as suggested above and in the file names.tma appears a line line like:

["caliban"]={ "ttf", "Caliban", "Caliban.ttf", false },

I thought one might use

\font\test=caliban at 12pt

but this fails:

Font \test=caliban at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.

weird, smells like a bug (i need to look into it) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
