[NTG-context] Project structure, (simple)font woes

Hello all, I'm trying to teach myself to use the project structure. After a few rounds of trial and error (...and stupid naming schemes...) I'm almost there, but got stuck at my font setups. If I do this as a single file, it works fine (Win7 and newest ConTeXt, updated it this morning): % FONT

[NTG-context] ConTeXt User Meeting / EuroTeX 2012?

Hello! I know I shouldn't be asking until after BachoTeX, but unfortunately my calendar for autumn is starting to fill up and there are things that should be settled pretty soon. (And I can't go to BachoTeX to sort things out there.) The page http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2012/ says that 6CM
