Dear Wolfgang Many thanks - especially for the syntax for font calls, which I'm sure I would have got to eventually but not without a bit of swearing, I fear... I don't mind learning another graphics package - I'm no expert in Pstricks in any case, but I often find it useful for drawing fairly straightforward lines, circles, etc. For edition work I use the tree module (rather clumsily) to produce diagrams of manuscript descendancy and relation, but I'm not envisaging using ConTexT for that kind of text.

Good day, Contexters
Hi John,
welcome to the mailing list.

As for pstricks (never used it), I have just found that there is a module `m-pstrick', but it doesn’t work with LuaMetaTeX.
I couldn’t make it work with LuaTeX either (sample from
https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/RJR7MRTPR7S3... ).
pstricks uses postscript which isn't supported with pdftex, luatex etc.
edmac is almost three decades old. If you want
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wujastyk/edmac/refs/heads/main/Wujastyk%20... ,
this should be achievable with ConTeXt (no modules needed).
for example, but this must be possible, and some primitives such as \baselineskip seem to have disappeared
LuaMetaTeX happens to have a primitive with the same name, https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/luametatex.pdf#page=93.
\baselineskip is the primitive used with \setupinterlinespace
together with the fontcall system I'm used to:
\font\umirtenpointsevenfive = "MinionPro-Regular:+onum:mapping=tex- text:letterspace=1.6" at 10.75pt
Not clear to me what the second command (after `\font`) means in plain English.
The context version is
\definefont [umirtenpointsevenfive] [file:MinionPro-Regular*<featureset> at 10.75pt]
and it creates the font switch \umirtenpointsevenfive like the xetex version.
Wolfgang
