Hi all,
I finally got something like Pablo's test working on my system. It doesn't
show much new. As had already been established, with the right ConTeXt
switches, OpenType features of kerning and ligatures work correctly with
FreeSerif.

Hi Luigi,
Perhaps that is what *should* have happened.
It did not happen.
Context did not read the fonts when they were in the texmf-project/fonts
folder,
It did read them when I moved them as described.

Hi Luigi,
I got ConTeXt installed and running, but the install was very choppy.
FYI the script you gave me had several problems, which I'll detail here.
1) Throughout you want
freefont-ttf-20120503
rather than
freefont-src-20120503
2) This line has a stray backslash character

Usually, normal users do not have write permissions in /opt directory.

Hi Hans, Bill,
Yes, I'm personally aware of how PDF works.
This came from Pablo, who has since told me he was *not* referring to PDF

That's all I know about it, except that kerning works on my own reader.
