Xue,

I tried the following on the latest full Windows ConTeXt download
(mswincontext.zip - 2005-03-16)

\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
\starttext
\showfontstrip
\showbodyfont[times]
Roman \bf bold \it italics
\stoptext

... and the \rm font (times) is missing.  The log file complains of missing
characters ...

Missing character: There is no A in font texnansi-utmr8a!

I then tried it on http://live.contextgarden.net/ and the PDF loads, but
Acrobat complains of a missing font (times) and substitutes Helvetica.

I also tried many varied combinations and met with failure on each one.

I realize that either the font files, or the means by which they are called
within a document are in transition, but it would be very helpful if a
sample document(s) were created which demonstrates and uses all the fonts
provided with a complete ConTeXt install.  This would serve several
purposes:

1) it would demonstrate all the available fonts;
2) it would provide an up to date record of the proper and most recommended
way of calling those fonts within a document.
3) it would serve as a test to ensure all the fonts were installed and are
working as intended

Perhaps such a document already exists, but I have not (yet) found it ...

Regards,

Stefano
