The command ___ mkluatexfontdb___ creates a font database for LaTeX (or more concrete the luaotfload package) but context has always used it___s own font database.
To update the font database for context you have to call ___mtxrun --script fonts --reload___ but the script searches for system fonts only on windows and mac machines. When you___re working on a linux system you have to set the ___OSFONTDIR___ variable first.

followed the advice in the wiki but with modifications. On my Slackware single-user system the OTF fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF So my Context script now contains just two commands: export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/OTF context $1 And the title.tex file now looks like this: ------------------------------------ \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefont [titlefont][MyriadPro-Bold at 70bp] \definefont [subtitle][MyriadPro-Bold at 25bp] \startstandardmakeup \titlefont \centerline{Scribus} \vskip 10pt \subtitle \centerline {for} \vskip 10pt \titlefont \centerline{Book Covers} \subtitle \vfil \centerline{Free Publishing Software Series} \vfil \rm \stopstandardmakeup -------------------------- -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
