The version of my Palatino is 5.0 (I run on Win7) It is located at c:/windows/fonts/pala.ttf There is no 'i.sc' glyph available according to the font software, only those .smcp, listed in the smcp6 table. As there are only .sc names in the TMA file, I suppose there is some kind of name normalization. But not very precise... > (mtxrun --script --save pala.ttf) This returns an error: c:/windows/fonts/pala.ttf:1: unexpected symbol Jan ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
