this won't do anything unless the glyph's *name* in the font is

Indeed, that works! Thank you very much. So again, structure matters.
Kind regards,

But it might not be a bad idea for LuaTeX to automatically perform a

probably not that hard to code. On the other hand, Type 1 fonts are
legacy at this point, so it might not be worth it.

There are defaults baked
So... I think I got somewhere now with the explanations from you and mathew.
It seems that the problem were the missing .afm files (as mtxrun wanted
those, not .pfm nor .pfb). I found two different solutions A and B:
(1) Install fonts (.pfm) in Windows
(2A) Put .afm files to C:\Windows\Fonts

Hi Stefan,
It seems that somehow on your system the rsfs font is not seen by mkiv.
In fact after the following command
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
you should say
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=rsfs
in order to see whether any rsfs font is detected by mkiv.
If the fonts

Ah, thanks for that. Indeed, there are .pfm and .pfb files in the Fonts
directory now. But still
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
doesn't seem to check for those file types...
Best regards,
Stefan.

You need both pfm and pfb in the fonts folder. But windows probably
pulled the pfb along with the pfm w

Hi,
like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph
Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems
to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to
start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I
