Thank you Patrick... I am my distributor maintainer. I installed linux in my pc box less than a year ago, and I see font files everywhere (X directory fonts, TeX directory fonts, TrueType, OpenType, Type1, etc...) but don't know if they are accessible from Context. what is the "local guide" you refer to?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a command in Context like: \listavailablefonts [type1 | truetype | ... | all] or \listavailablefamilyfonts [] ... and another to check whether a font is properly installed (that is, whether it has \bf, \it, \sc, math, etc), like: \checkfont [fontname] Luigi, thank you. I've read the outdated documents you suggested, but still ...
