Hallo Luigi!
I have some problems useing the font adventor from gyre project. After downloading the fonts and the context map-files from the gyre-site, I tried the following:
\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\definetypeface[adventor][ss][sans][adventor][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt] \starttext \ss Bla \stoptext
but I get
! Font \*adventor12ptsstfss*:=TeXGyreAdventor-Regular at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
Did you install adventor with texfont ?
I tried both! Because there were map-files for conTeXt at the gyre-site and a typescript with ConTeXt, I thought I just have to copy everything to the right place. But obviously the gyre-map-files don't fit with the type-gyr script. On the other site, installing the fonts with texfont works, but I don't have found the trick to install the small caps variant, and the naming is not yet the same as in type-gyr (I have to experiment a bit with this!) But I like to know, what I else have to do when installing these fonts manuelly. Wolfgang

I had a look at the typescripts and the mapfiles, and I think I see why your approach isn't working. All tex-gyre fonts are only defined in terms of a [serif] typescript (line 52-66 of type-gyr.tex). So I tried to change your minimal example to this: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface[adventor][rm][serif][adventor][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt] \starttext \ss Bla \stoptext However, I now get hundreds of warnings in my log (attached below). I can't pinpoint it, but it looks like ConTeXt is looking for a file qag-name.map which isn't there. Upon further investigation: I get these warnings whenever I use one of the new tex-gyre font names. So defining a typeface like this: \definetypeface[main][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[main,9pt] works wonderfully. Defining it like this \definetypeface[main][rm][serif][pagella][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[main,9pt] should give the identical results, but triggers the warnings. I must admit that I find this a bit frustrating. The tex-gyre font project looks so promising, but users need a simpler syntax to use the fonts (I know we want need this anymore with luatex, but it needs to be fixed anyway).

This type of patch to type-gyr.tex should help: -\starttypescript[serif][palatino][ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x] +\starttypescript[serif][palatino,pagella][ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x] (you can't define a typeface for an undefined typescript). Hans doesn't like avantgarde, so for you adventor you will have to create a completely new typescript, as it was never previously defined in the core. Cheers, Taco

FYI: This is *not* a font map file, despite it's name. The loading gets triggered by mistake due to this line in type-ini.tex: \usetypescript[#3,\t!map][#4][\t!name,\t!default,\typefaceencoding,\t!special]%
