John, the question you should ask yourself is if ConTeXt is the right tool for you.
What i learnt from you past mails is that you always use many macros from files which are written for plain TeX instead of ConTeXt’s own mechanism. When you really want to use ConTeXt then use ConTeXt’s commands to change the font, the layout and also to produce a index etc.

Understood. I also found a chapter on fonts which I presume will go in a manual yet to be written. In that chapter I found a \definefont command which should allow me to emulate my previous use of the \font commmand. In my work I frequently adjust font sizes by tiny increments to help fit text better on a specific page etc. And customers sometimes want a specific decorative font at a specific size. And the \font command is very direct. For this reason in both LaTeX and Context I tend to revert to the primitive. The new task I have in front of me will have a complex layout where the features of Context for lists within lists etc. will be most useful. And there will be lots of small illustrations. So I will do it in Context. Thanks as always for the help from this list. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Cover design, Indexing, Interior Layout
