Thanks Charles
A praise from the heart to the devs. Wouldn't be possibile to support font selection like in XeTeX? This would make thing really a lot easier for sublunar users like me.
Really, the whole process it's damn' complicated: no one a part 2 or 3 seems to know the details :)
depends on where you come from ... \font\whatever=somename<with xetex spec> should kind of work in luatex anyhow, the main idea behind the context font system is that one creates combinations with symbolic names and then can use those names also elsewhere (e.g. using SerifBold when defining a titlepage); if you don't use math and just one style, definitions are real simple, but in practice you define a combination (serif/sans, mono, math) you can predefine such a set, give it a name, and then reuse it for every document you want; there are a few examples of such typescripts \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] less commands make no sense any systems takes time to get accustomed to and tex is somewhat complicated by the fact that math definitions are part of the game as well as that we might want to conbine fonts.
