Hi, I've copied the files GARA.TTF, GARABD.TTF and GARAIT.TTF (Monotype Garamond) to the fonts directory and then regenerated the database. This is my test-file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[garamond] \starttext \input tufte \it \input tufte \bf \input tufte \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The output is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/test.pdf and it's very ugly. How could I get better results please? TIA for any help! -- Peter

Try this example which doesn’t use simplefonts: \starttext \startfont[file:gara.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont \startfont[file:garait.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont \startfont[file:garabd.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont \stoptext Wolfgang

Not really better: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/startfont-gara.pdf There are now 3 pdf-files: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/startfont-gara.pdf -> \startfont ... \stopfont http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/simplefont-gara.pdf -> \setmainfont[gara] http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/simplefont-garamond.pdf -> \setmainfont[garamond] The 3 ttf files come from an MS-Office installation. -- Peter
