http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Aleph_Guide

was once the main guide. Aleph was a merge of etex and Omega, succeeded by
luatex. You can still use the old Omega way of doing things in luatex -- as
explained in that guide, but it's better to use the new mechanism and
opentype fonts.

My luatex is not working for the moment, I am using the context minimals
distribution on MacOS X.

Would the old Omega way documented on that page also work with the xetex
engine?

No, XeTeX does not support Omega/Aleph commands. If you find an aleph binary for Mac I guess you could try that, but don't give up on luaTeX just yet, I'm sure someone on the list will figure out what's wrong....

I did not have the intention of giving up : ) Mojca suggested I try to source in setuptex, I will try that next then. I was just waiting if somebody might reply to Jean.

Let me ask another question then: once luatex works, how can I make use of the ttf font? I suppose it is not as simple as copying it in the fonts/truetype directory and running mktexlsr?

I had a glance at the mfonts.pdf manual, and I already installed FontForge aka pfaedit, but I do not know yet how it all plays together.
