Font handling in ConTeXt is "strange" for LaTeX users. It's a system of abstraction and aliases, complex and mighty... But there's help:
- Adam Lindsay's page focuses on typography (OpenType, Unicode etc.), esp. on MacOS X
- Bill McClain's ConTeXt beginners page has also a lot about fonts
- font installation with texfont by Pragma
- ConTeXt's font mechanism in detail by Pragma
- examples of using typescripts by Pragma
- making outlines by Pragma
- example typescripts by Hraban
- typescripts for some fonts from the FontSite500 CD by Holger Schöner on the Font Site page
- typescripts for lazy font combinations on the Flexi Face page
- Matt Gushee about virtual fonts
- Don't forget to look at cont-sys.tex!
For me, typescripts only work if I uncomment \autoloadmapfilestrue and \resetmapfiles --Hraban 21:44, 23 Aug 2004 (CEST)
BTW: In newer distributions, map files belong in .../fonts/map/pdftex/context !
