'type-gyr.tex' defines!!! adventor. But the encoding-script is wrong,
as Thomas has pointed out.
--- excerpt from type-gyr.tex ---
\definetypescriptprefix [n:adventor][TeXGyreAdventor]
\definetypescriptprefix [f:adventor][ag]
\starttypescript [serif] [pagella,termes,heros,bonum,schola,adventor]
[ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x]
\loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map]
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular]
[\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}r]
[encoding=\typescriptthree]
...
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [heros,adventor] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans]
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular]
...
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [map] [pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] [all]
\loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map]
\stoptypescript

I still have some questions:
- A complete (all gyre-fonts) type-script makes sense. Will 'type-
gyr' be fixed, or should I create my own?
- What are the map-files at the gyre-site for?
- Is the second \loadmapfile entry above redundant?
- What is the correct texfont syntax, to install adventors small-caps
variant?
- There are enc-files in the ??dvips?? subdirectory of the font tree:
'fonts/enc/dvips/tex-gyre/q-<encoding>-sc.enc
Should I make use from these files? Will they be found there?
