I am currently trying to get the mara font loaded into XeTeX. Here's some
information about the font (via fontforge):
file: marafont.ttf
Fontname: MaraFontNFPlain:
Family Name: MaraFontNF Plain:
(yes, the colons are in the name)
I've tried a couple of ways, using both the fontname and the
I've tried a couple of ways, using both the fontname and the family name,
both
with and without the ending semi-colons; however, it fails at compile time.
Have you tried prepending name: to the font name, like I explained
yesterday?

I tried prepending name and it didn't work. I also tried file:marafont,
but that didn't work either. Your code yesterday was great and I have not
tried to plug in the mara font into a typescript. There are some fonts that I
just want to put in one section of the text without having to write
I also tried plugging it into the typescript (not what I want), but that
didn't work either. I tried both the name: and the file: options.
Still lost,

One thing of possible interest is that when I load the font in fontforge, I
get the following warning:
Bad Font Name
The Postscript font name MaraFontNF Plain: is invalid. It should be
printable ASCII, must not contain (){}[]%/ or space and must be shorter than
63 characters.
Is the colon at
Is the colon at the end of the name a problem?
No, the message says the problem is with the space character, but it
is of little concern here (XeTeX doesn't use PostScript font names at
all).
Is it the font from http://www.perry.com/disney/indy/marafont.html?
It seems to have quite a number
That seems to work. I just renamed the fontname and family (removing the
colon), generated a new ttf and loaded that into the system.
So this works:
\definetypeface[MaraFontNFPlain][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNFPlain]
\starttext
\startfont[MaraFontNFPlain]
This is a test.
\stoptext
And yes, the url
One quick question (again expressing my ignorance). Why can't I take the
code
above and change it to the following:
\definetypeface[Mara][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNFPlain]
\starttext
\startfont[Mara]
This is a test.
\stoptext
I have no idea ... Does it really not work?

This one does work.
Thanks again,
