I am using GW's TeX distribution with ConTeXt. I am interested in using a different font other than Computer Modern. This distribution seems to come with a ton of fonts (More than I need at least). Using the basic ConTeXt provisions to access the fonts I am able to access some fonts successfully (Like Palatino or Euler) and some unsuccsessfully (Like Optima, Iwona or Kurier).
Ex: Works: \definetypeface [MyFace] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec]
Does not work: \definetypeface [MyFace] [ss] [sans] [iwona] [default] [encoding=ec]
Did you do \setupbodyfont[MyFace,ss] (note the ss)?
I realize this might be a very basic question but: What's going on? :-)
I would appreciate if anyone could at least point me in the direction of some documentation that would explain why these fonts work/don't work.
Have a look at showfonts.pdf for examples of how to use the common tex fonts with Context. mfonts.pdf is the "font manual" and explains all the bells and whistles of using fonts in context. Aditya
