Henry Ford said yo could have a car in any color so long as it was black.
Context says you can ask for any font you want to so long as it is Computer Modern. I tried asking for lbr (Lucida Bright) as the \setupbody font. The program went into a tailspin trying and failing to create all the fonts. Then I used ppl as the asked for font. Another tailspin, which is funny because I use Palatino in plain TeX files with no problem. If I ask for just pl it does not complain but just gives me computer modern. SO: Is there a list of the font name abbreviations that context will accept? Are there any fonts other than cm that can be used without going into the mktextfm/kpathsea loop? I would not complain except that I can create these fonts in any needed sizes in plain tex. The following works fine in plain tex: \font\rm= pplr at 10pt \font\it= pplri at 10pt \font\bf = pplb8r at 14pt It also runs without error in context but seems to have no effect. Any suggestions?
