Hi all, and happy new year !
I've just (properly) installed a fresh ConTeXt Minimals on Linux and

Hi again,
although simplefonts seems very promising and I put the highest hopes
on it, the lack of proper documentation simply prevents me to use it,
which is somewhat frustrating.

Hi,
under certain circumstances, ConTeXt swallows text. This happens with
both MkII and MkIV and a fairly recent minimals distribution.
