A link to a page on fonts with MkIV for beginners
At the beginning, this page said: ::This page is a draft (currently kind of a personal notebook) which I hope will evolve into some kind of ::beginner's guide to understanding what's going on in ConTeXt as far as fonts are concerned. Currently I ::can hardly understand anything about it, but I keep on asking on the mailing list;) ::(http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20080304.225545.5990b35d.en.html) and I'm going to post the ::answers here. Now things have changed; I dropped the topic (I guess it was a bit too difficult for me). I'm leaving the rest of this page unchanged in case it is helpful for someone (below the next paragraph). Recently, two things have changed. First, a [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf|new chapter on fonts] for the manual has been written; it is easier to read than the previous one, although still obscure in some places (at least for me). Second (and more important), I asked another question on the mailing list, concerning TeX-Gyre support in [[Mark IV]]. I think the answer deserves a new wiki page (or am I wrong?), so I post it here: [[A Beginner's Guide to Using Fonts in Mark IV]]. The idea is that the page says ''how'' to easily use fonts (or rather typescripts) in Mark IV, so that you just take a ready-to-use recipe from there and paste it into your document.
Most of the following material comes from the answers I got on the mailing list and/or the documentation (mfonts.pdf). Since crediting people for each and every answer would be cumbersome, I'd like to thank here all of you that helped me understand ConTeXt (especially Hans, of course).
