no edit summary
Typescripts are the ConTeXt way of using fonts and defining font families.
==Basics==
Sample typescript for the free text font [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium Gentium]. Installation instructions are at [[Installing a TrueType font, step by step- Old Content]].
A typescript must live in your project folder or in another folder in your ConTeXt path (e.g., <tt>(texmf)/tex/context/user</tt>)
% load mapfile
\starttypescript [map] [gentium] [\defaultencoding] \loadmapfile [\defaultencoding-sil-gentium.map]
\stoptypescript
% The second argument means that these names are loaded with either the 'gentium'
% or 'gentium-alt' names.
\starttypescript [serif] [gentium, gentium-alt] [\defaultencoding] % mapping is used by two "name" typescripts \definefontsynonym [GentiumAlt-ItalicGentium] [\defaultencoding-genai101genr101] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [GentiumAltGentium-Italic] [\defaultencoding-genar101geni101] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [Gentium-ItalicGentiumAlt] [\defaultencoding-geni101genar101][encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [GentiumGentiumAlt-Italic] [\defaultencoding-genr101genai101][encoding=\defaultencoding]

% This is the first change we need to make: we list all the encodings it can match,

\stoptypescript
% We use the same technique. As the encoding variable shows up in the third
% argument, we use \typescriptthree.
