How to start (again) with typescripts
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 frutigerce45light frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerce45lightlight frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerce55roman frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigerce55romannormal frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigercelight frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerceroman frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigerlt45light frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerlt45lightlight frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerlt46lightitalic frutigerltlightitalic /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 46 Light Italic.ttf frutigerlt55roman frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf frutigerlt55romannormal frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf frutigerltlight frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerltlightitalic frutigerltlightitalic /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 46 Light Italic.ttf frutigerltroman frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf 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? I know I should have asked last week... Patrick

Yes it is, thanks! What is the use of
\starttypescriptcollection[mytypescripts] .... \stoptypescriptcollection
typescripts can be preloaded and then this is the container; from the user point of view you can also consider it to be metainfo Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
