Description

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

Example

In almost all cases the environment is used like this

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