The location can vary, but I like this one ; as Wolfgang said, test.tex is a mix of mkiv and mkii and you should use \setmainfont[minionpro] instead of \setmainfont[minionproregular] % and \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality] instead of \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
