Eh? The following is at the end of the official tpe-omg.tex:
------------------------------
\starttypescript [OmegaLGC]
\definebodyfontenvironment
[omlgc]
[default]
[interlinespace=2.8ex]
\definetypeface [omlgc] [rm] [serif] [omega] [omega]
\definetypeface [omlgc] [tt] [mono] [omega] [omega]
\stoptypescript
-----------------------------------
and \switchtobodyfont[omlgc] is used throughout m-gamma.tex.
And it works:-)

Are you sure? I get
This is a test omlgc at 14.0pt
in omlgc of course.
Are you sure there's not a bug somewhere else? I have my own private fonts
\definetypeface [mtnaskh] [rm] [naskh] [mtnaskhi] [mtnaskhi] [rscale=1.6]
and when I do a switch to omlgc it works fine. I always enclose omlgc in its
own group as well. But when I switch to cmr in its own group it does not work
at all.
I bet that if I replaced all the fonts in type-omg.tex with cmr it would work
with no problem. There must be something else afoot.

I will study the xchange between u and Giuseppe and see if I can make sense of
this. Stay tuned.
