Summary

The environment \starttypescript ... \stoptypescript is used to setup a font family.

Settings

[...,...]	serif sans mono math handwriting calligraphy

[...,...]	size name

Description

The typescript environment functions as a container for the font and type definitions therein.

Examples

Example 1

In almost all cases the environment is used like this:

\starttypescript [serif] [myname] [name]
   \definefontsynonym [...]
   ...
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [myname] [name]
   \definefontsynonym [...]
   ...
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [mono] [myname] [name]
   \definefontsynonym [...]
   ...
\stoptypescript

immediately followed by

\starttypescript [myname]
   \definetypeface [myname] [ss] [sans]  [...]
   \definetypeface [myname] [rm] [serif] [...]
   \definetypeface [myname] [tt] [mono]  [...]
\stoptypescript

and the created definitions are then later used (perhaps in a different file) by:

\usetypescript [myname]
\setupbodyfont [myname]
