Dear ConTeXticians, I'm learning to use ConTeXt and the main problems I have with ConTeXt are related to fonts. I need to use utf-8 for my documents, since it is the proper way to handle polytonic Greek, Spanish and German in a single document without having to use strange input methods. I was told that it is possible to use utf-8 in ConTeXt (although Greek isn't defined for utf-8 yet), but I don't know how to enable this feature. Which command can I use utf-8 in my documents? (I know \enableregime, but it doesn't work with option unicode). Another problem is the fontencoding: I'd like to use the cm-super fonts, but if I try to use \setupencoding[default=ec] I get a recursive error with some documents (but this is probably due to the wrong document syntax) or the document fonts are the standard cm fonts in OT1 encoding, what is probably related to the last problem. I cannot invoke other fonts than \setupbodyfont[ber,pos]. I use the MikTeX total distribution and with pdfLaTeX all installed fonts work fine. With ConTeXt if I use \setupbodyfont[palatino], either I get an error from maketfm that doesn't know how to make ec-uplr8a or in other documents the variant palatino for bodyfont seems to be unknown. I'm extremely confused about how ConTeXt works with the installed fonts (probably I don't have the required knowledge to understand it) and actually I don't know how LaTeX mangages the available fonts, but it works. The above question is not how to install new fonts or even how ConTeXt manages fonts. The only thing I'd appreciate to know is the most simple procedure to invoke each installed font on my TeX distribution within ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
