Hello All:
There are quite a few fonts available in Latex with matching math fonts. The way a user like me who understands nothing about fonts can use them is to simply load a package. For example, for charter I can simply use the command
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}
Aditya has just suggested to create a bunch of definitions equal to those in mathdesign. Mathdesign include three typefaces that have not been implemented in ConTeXt yet, and I agree that they could (should) be.
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. I don't know if that's better or worse, but at least it works out of the box.
Are there fonts in Context with matching Math fonts other than Computer modern that can be used in an as simple manner,i.e., by just issuing few commands.
As others have already written: - "Palatino", "Times" (TeX Gyre, actually) - Lucida (if you have the fonts) - Iwona, Kurier, Antykwa Torunska - Euler, Fourier, Concrete Math - never tried it myself
If yes, can you please guide me to a resource which lists at least some of these fonts (again they should have matching math fonts) and the simple commands necessary to load them. I would find that really helpful
For palatino, times, iwona, kurier (not yet, but should be fixed), antykwa-torunska, see Yue's and Aditya's answer. In Unicode (xetex, luatex) you should use \usetpescript[name] \setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded] and in pdfTeX you need \usetpescript[name][ec] \setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded] You can take a look at type-tmf.tex, type-one.tex, type-otf.tex and math-*.tex in ConTeXt sources.
