The above code works, the -- and --- get translated to endash and emdash, the quotes look great. Still no ligatures, but it doesn't seem that the font has any. I have no MkIV setup, and I'm in the middle of a project, so now is not a good time to switch. Is there a convenient way to try on TeXLive2008 without changing my current setup? If so, I'll give it a whirl. $ mtxrun --script fonts --list AGaramond* --info MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file MtxRun | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MtxRun | unknown script: fonts Something wrong with my TeXLive2008 installation?
