That's great. Can I combine this setup with another one for left even &
right odd numbered pages? E.g.,
((PAGE 2))
<King> 1 The King <>
((PAGE 3))
<> 1 The King <Queen>
So that I can combine, say \setupheadertexts[][\KHead Queen][\KHead King][]
-- which actually are just two different ornaments -- with your definition
above for 'something'?

Sorry I got confused; I was too much influenced by the LaTeX multicol
package where I have to say \begin{multicols}{2}[Spanning title] ...

My log file tells me
bodyfont : bodyfont 6.6pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 6.6pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 4.7pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 4.7pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 5.7pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 5.7pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 11.3pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 11.3pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 9.5pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont : bodyfont 9.5pt is defined (can better be done global)
Given my definitions for HelveticaNeue -- and assuming they are alright --
where do I setup sizes, and especially in didot or big points?

Here:
\setupoutput [pdftex]
\input pdftexconfig
\enableregime[il1]
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\showstruts

This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc4-2.1
ConTeXt ver: 2004.8.15 fmt: 2004.9.8
(BTW I've already produced all expanded version with fontinst)
But this really produces super ugly results! The expanded fonts are in the
pdf but the line breaking is horrible. Probably I need at least rc7 or the
standalone version of fptex of Sept, 9th?

Ok, I'll prepare an extra email.

If ConTeXt is using the new german spelling & hyphenation rules then:
*§108* If ss stands for ß, then it will be hyphenated s-s. E.g., Grüs-se
(instead of Grü-ße), heis-sen (instead of hei-ßen).
*§109* The connection of consonants ch, ck, and sch, and also in foreign
words with ph, rh, sh, and th will not be hyphenated in between if they
stands for a single sound. E.g., Bü-cher, Zu-cker, ba-cken, Fla-sche,
Ma-che-te, Pro-phet, Myr-rhe, Ca-shew-nuss, ka-tho-lisch.

Ulrich
