Not so valid at all. For example, it doesn't allow me to reset the scale factor. I really think we need a way to overrule single selections within a typescript without resorting to file synonyms. > btw, why don't you want to install latin modern? the > monospaced variant combines well with palatino; of course > one has to play with rscale a bit (i'm amazed about the > amount of tex docs and books on the web that have funny > relative scaling) Because I want to try something different.

Anyway, now I'm having a look at the Luxi fonts. Look interesting. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Ok so far, but having to rewrite all of it just to override a single value seems excessive, to me. Isn't there a simple way to only override only some things?
