Hello Ciro, I am my distributor maintainer. But you got your distribution from some source? what is the local guide you refer to? This should come with your TeX system (Linux system, downloaded TeX system, whatever) that tells you about things that you need to know about your TeX system. Including the available fonts. Since I don't know what your TeX system is, I can't tell you if you have such a local guide. If it is not on your system, you should complain to the person that gave you the TeX. Wouldn't it be nice to have a command in Context like: \listavailablefonts [type1 | truetype | ... | all] Then please define what a font is. But apart from that, it is not possible from within TeX.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: newbie question about fonts
Thank you Patrick... I am my distributor maintainer. I installed linux in my pc box less than a year ago, and I see font files everywhere (X directory fonts, TeX directory fonts, TrueType, OpenType, Type1, etc...) but don't know if they are accessible from Context. what is the local guide you refer to? Wouldn't it be nice to have a command in Context like: \listavailablefonts [type1 | truetype | ... | all] or \listavailablefamilyfonts [] ... and another to check whether a font is properly installed (that is, whether it has \bf, \it, \sc, math, etc), like: \checkfont [fontname] Luigi, thank you. I've read the outdated documents you suggested, but still ...

How do I list all fonts I have available to use in ConTeXt in the machine/system I have? Is there a file where I can see the names of all these fonts? This should be stated in your local guide. If not, complain to the distribution maintainer. And is there a template file or a command to display the entire set of characters once I know the name of fonts? \showfont[Serif] and alike.
