You have some (as in: lots of) valid points in the paper. Font selection, for instance, is a pain -- in my case, simplefonts just picks the bold weight for “\rm” and I can’t blame it because of the unpredictable nomenclature. The best thing that could happen would be a tool like xfontsel for the context font database. However, after looking at the naming schemes of too many fonts I doubt it could be written. > Hans started some basic support (but it needs to be polished out a > bit).

I did the same thing to my font (which is much smaller than antpołt) and had success loading it through “\loadfontgoodies” -- but it doesn’t quite serve as a typescript for font loading yet, does it?
