Hi Ciro,
I completely agree. Context works fine but, like you, I have not

Thanks Thomas for the manual. I have already printed it, and cannot wait

In the mean time I welcome any other concrete tips for installing a new

My problem goes beyond fonts. What I think I need is a simple explanation

I see tetex,pdftex,contex, latex,web2c,...and so on, but I don't

thank you very much for your explanations... they are very helpful.
regarding ttf translation, I have in my system (I guess it came with

a little software ttf2pt1 that does the job.

Hi Ciro,
AFAIK chancery has no typeface associated. So you need to do that yourself
\usetypescript[chancery][texnansi]
\definetypeface
[myfont][cg][calligraphy][chancery][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[myfont,cg,12pt]

Idris,
thank you for your interest. I don't have setuptex in my linux

a windows utility.
Concerning Garamond, I see bunch of files in my system:

How can one keep track with so many directories, encodings, file types,
