Playing around with fonts is one of my favorite (and immensely time-consuming) hobbies. Here's a couple of links where I learned many useful things. Some of them are a bit LaTeX-centric, but most of the stuff is still applicable to ConTeXt: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html [that should be your first stop, immensely useful] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rf/pstex/index.htm [clear and helpful] http://homepage.mac.com/bkerstetter/tex/fonttutorial-current.html [for LaTeX and OS X, but useful even for other distros] http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/Fontes/fontes.html [a wealth of information, in French] http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm [a classic: somewhat outdated, but still useful] I assume that you have looked at the ConTeXt manuals about fonts: mfonts.pdf, mtexfont.pdf. Finally, for the somewhat advanced user, have a look at Adam's MyWays: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ which also contain a wealth of information.

Hi Taco,
thank you very much for your answer that reveals so many secrets ;-).
How can I distinguish normal fonts from virtual ones? I would like to understand all these font issues but didn't find suitable readings. Is there a "Beginners Guide the to Secrets of Fonts"? Can you recomend some material?
Thanks again, --Stefan _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
