Some time back I recall seeing a message in which someone discussed
using
fonts available from foundries and recommended certain ones.
Unfortunately,
I can't seem to find that message. I will probably need one serif
font for
the text of the book, a plain sans serif font to use for entries in
a table,
a fancier sans serif font for chapter titles and, possibly a different
not-too-plain sans serif font for page headers. Also, I can't figure
out how
to tell ConTeXt which font to use for page headers.
I guess you know http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts ?
Without knowing the subject and/or intended audience of your book I
can't suggest suitable fonts.
Generally I find Palatino (TeX Gyre Pagella) with Frutiger (in a
pinch: MS Calibri) a very good combination, even if rather conservative.
SIL Gentium is also a very nice body font, if you like a "soft, human"
touch. Linotype Finnegan is a matching sans-serif; perhaps try
Libertine Biolinum, if you want a free one.
For more technically looking sans's I like LM Sans and URW Grotesk
(especially in small sizes).
