I installed pxfonts and the command now works great and I do get the Palatino output. I am very new to Context and this last week was mainly a kind of trial to see how I like it. So far I love what I see. Also, I think the fact that there are so many helpful people here in this forum has convinced me that if I get stuck with something, which I will, there are experts whom I could ask for help. Hence, I have decided to use it for most of my documents. Things are very busy now, and hence for the next month or so I plan to continue using the version that comes with TeXlive, but after that I will try to update and get the latest stable version. I hope that in future Context makes more fonts available. For now it seems I will be using Palatino, which is good too. Thanks again. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I suppose that the commands of the type \usetypescript[name][ec] \setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded] that you suggested will also load the matching math fonts. I will also take a look at the documents Mojca has referred to. As Aditya and Mojca suggested, it would be great to have the fonts that are supported in Mathdesign...those are beautiful.

Mathdesign include three typefaces that have not been implemented in ConTeXt yet, and I agree that they could (should) be. keep in mind that this will only work for mkii (unless the default tex encoding is used); mkiv will operate in unicode math mode and if we want to support older math fonts there we should make a setup for virtual unicode math fonts (no big deal but i have no time for it now) Or, to use Palatino for text and some maching math fonts, I can use the command \usepackage{mathpazo} ConTeXt currently has no support for mathpazo (one can always write it), but it uses pxfonts.
