Why can't ConTeXt read LaTeX font definition files?
my only latex experience is with the first versions, so i'm not familiar with the font mechanisms
Shouldn't it?
dunno, never had a reason, don't have the time now
Fair enough. The question is based on the observation that a) the mechanisms in LaTeX and ConTeXt are AFAIK not all that different, and b) most of the font installation tools and packages, both now and into the future, are written for LaTeX. It opens up more possibilities if ConTeXt can read .fd files. Perhaps something to come back to later on, along with adding support for other font weights and such... Bruce
