looks quite nice, i also like the font size
Thanks. What about getting these fonts to work in mkiv? Must
there be
some change in the fonts? Some files in ConTeXt? (they were
perfectly
working in older mkii)
Fourier and Uptopia should work with mkiv. I will check why they are
not
working at present.
Utopia use "encoding-filename" and MkIV needs the "filename" to load
the fonts.
Here is a complete typescript for utopia (without fake slanted and
caps style).
\starttypescript [serif] [utopia]
   \setups[font:fallback:serif]
   \definefontsynonym [Serif]           [Utopia-Regular]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]     [Utopia-Italic]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]       [Utopia-Bold]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Utopia-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [utopia]
   \definefontsynonym [Utopia-Regular]    [file:putr8a]
[features=default]
   \definefontsynonym [Utopia-Italic]     [file:putri8a]
[features=default]
   \definefontsynonym [Utopia-Bold]       [file:putb8a]
[features=default]
   \definefontsynonym [Utopia-BoldItalic] [file:putbi8a]
[features=default]

\starttypescript [utopia]

Thank you Wolfgang, but this does not work for me with latest
minimals. (I have downloaded utopia(+fourier) and they show up in
mkii.) I put your lines in a file and add
\setupbodyfont[utopia][ec/8r/...] %tried several and also without
this last []
\starttext
test
\stoptext
LuaTeX just compiles and replaces these fonts by lm.
luatools putr8a.pfb gives the resulting location of the pfb file so it
actually finds the font.
Do I misuse it?
Try my test file (I saved the typescript above in type-utopia.tex).
\usetypescriptfile[type-utopia]
\usetypescript[utopia]
\setupbodyfont[utopia]
\starttext
\tf ABC abc 123 \par
\it ABC abc 123 \par
\bf ABC abc 123 \par
\bi ABC abc 123 \par
\stoptext

I'm sorry, but I get this error:

I'm very confused. I guess it means it is looking for some tfm files.
Some questions:

1) Do one still (with mkiv) need tfm files?
1a) if not, do I need to do anything to "install" the font file.
luatools putr8a.pfb gives the right file, but
mtxrun --script fonts --list
do not list it.
1b) Is there a difference with the need of tfm files for
opentype/type1/ttf fonts?
2) If I use the old fourier.map file I can get the utopia fonts
working somehow with luatex (then it is mapped via futr8r.tfm). I also
get the fourier math fonts in the pdf, BUT then I still get the
problem explained in
