As an experiment, I'm trying to duplicate a sample InDesign document with ConTeXt. I'm getting the overall layout (though my image positions need tweaking), but I'm having some problems with the fonts.
I'm following the examples in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf , but I haven't seen the \switchtotypeface operator documented anywhere else. I'm on a Windows 7 machine, with minimals installed. I'm trying to use some of the system fonts (Minion, Impact, Myriad), but all I seem to get is CMR. Also, the line spacing on the paragraph at the top of the second page seems very weird. It's an address, and the bottom line is much too high relative to the spacing of the other lines. Here's the file: \definepapersize[card][width=792pt,height=612pt] \setuppapersize[card][card] \definetypeface[impact[rm][serif][mpact regular][default] \definetypeface[minion][rm][serif][Minion Pro Regular][default] \definetypeface[myriad][rm][serif][Myriad Pro Regular][default] \setupcolor[cmyk] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[red][c=0,m=.87,y=.87,k=0] \definelayer[textbox][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=textbox] \def\starttextbox {\dosingleargument\dostarttextbox} \def\dostarttextbox[#1]% {\def\stoptextbox{\setlayerframed[textbox][width=6cm,align=normal,frame=off,#1]{\getbuffer[textbox]}}% \startbuffer[textbox][starttextbox][stoptextbox]} \starttext %\starttextbox[x=12pt,y=20pt,width=768pt] %\useexternalfigure[ador1][Chrysanthemum.jpg][width=768pt] %\placefigure[here,force][]{none}{\externalfigure[ador1]} %\stoptextbox \starttextbox[x=195.3pt,y=115.2pt,width=560.7pt] \switchtotypeface[impact][48pt] \midaligned{Yo, First!} \stoptextbox \page[empty] \starttextbox[x=447.6pt,y=228pt,width=229.5pt] \switchtotypeface[minion][14pt]% Title.
