When i declare a [serif] typescript, why i need: \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Palatino] In my opinion this is redundant. \definefontsynonym [Regular] [Palatino] is what i would use. Of course i can map Serif-->Regular in an other [serif] typescript, but i think that would break another [sans] typescript with the same mapping. Or the same question from another point of view: When the font-commands use or look for Serif, SerifBold ... why the typescript must be declared as [serif]? or what would mean a [sans] typescript with the same \definefontsynonym [Serif...] [...] definitions? > The next thing is using this font.

As far as i understand the font-switching-macros use the declarations like Serif, or SerifBold. In this case: why i have to declared it as [rm] too? Or, why i need 'rm' in the next declaration? 'myface' is already defined as 'rm' > > \setupbodyfont[myface,10pt,rm] > Hmm, many questions, which show that i understand nothing ;) And another question: fontinst generates some fonts including symbols like degree. upright-mu or the registered-symbol. These are in (LaTeX) TS1 encoding. What declarations are needed to use them? Thanks in advance. Regards, Jens
