Hi Mojca, I tried your example below and struggled in path error:
%\starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic] %\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasic] [file:GenBasR] [features=default] %\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicItalic] [file:GenBasI] [features=default] %\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBold] [file:GenBasB] [features=default] %\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBoldItalic][file:GenBasBI] [features=default] %\stoptypescript %\starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic][name] %\definefontsynonym[Serif] [GentiumBasic] %\definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [GentiumBasicItalic] %\definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [GentiumBasicBold] %\definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][GentiumBasicBoldItalic] %\stoptypescript %\definetypeface[mygentium][rm][serif][gentium-basic][default] %\setupbodyfont[mygentium,36pt] \font\rom="Gentium Basic" at 36pt \starttext Test WQG 0196 \rom Test WQG 0196 \stoptext Doing it like this works OK. But uncommenting the lines above ends up in ... kpathsea: Running mktexmf GenBasR ! I can't find file `GenBasR'. But isn't it the same font/file adressed in both cases? (sorry, I am an absolute beginner in xetex) Yours, Steffen Am 20.11.2007 um 01:57 schrieb Mojca Miklavec: > On 11/19/07, Joel C.
