[NTG-context] Suggestions on fonts and foundries
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.

Many thanks Wolfgang! Your solution solves my question.
Now for a complete understanding of the solution (and before putting your
solution on the wiki), here is another question.
After reading your solution, I searched in the source files and saw that in the
file
syst-gen.mkii
the command \dosinglegroupempty, until \doquintuplegroupempty are defined.
For instance
\def\dotriplegroupempty#1%
{\def\dodogetargument##1%
{\def\dodogetargument1%
{\def\dodogetargument%
{\dontpermitspacesbetweengroups
#1{##1}{1}}%
\dogetgroupargument\thirdargumenttrue\thirdargumentfalse}%
\dogetgroupargument\secondargumenttrue\secondargumentfalse}%
\dogetgroupargument\firstargumenttrue\firstargumentfalse}
Can one use other constructions like these, for example can one define
\dosepttuplegroupempty
in order to have macros with 7 arguments, of which 5 are always present, while
the sixth and seventh may be absent in some occasions?
sure, you can just test .. \ifsecondargument ... \iffirstargument
but in such cases using key/values might make mode sense

Hi,
A couple of years ago, I decided to switch from LaTex to ConText. Now
I have compiled a lot of documents (Physics syllabi's) which compiles fine
in MK-II.
I thought I would try to make a switch to MK-IV, mainly because I
want to include 3D PRC figures in my documents.
I made some test cases to test MK-IV in order to get a handle on the
differences between MK-II and MK-IV
Some of my observations are
*) Numbered formulas, numbered by section, don't seem to work
*) I am getting a lot of warnings of identifiers, apparently used more than
once, which they are not
LuaTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier
(name{km1_chapter1_sec1}) has been already used, duplicate ignored
Question
Are these observations correct, someone else can confirm them ?
Question
If so, is there a fix, patch, or change in ConText commands/options I am not
aware of ?
i auppose that you use the latest version
when running into such a problem, just make a small example that shows
the problem and post is

I assume you've read http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf ? This will at least give you the basics (and then some more). I had always tended to map single characters to xml entities and more complex commands to xml elements, but I can't really tell you why. Maybe one of the real experts in this area can help us here?
