- If you are adventurous you can add the following to cont-new.mkiv

\enablemode[*nofonts]

This will postpone font loading and will be default soon. This saves runtime when you use another font than latin modern. When no font is loaded before the first \starttext, modern will kick in. A side effect is that any text typeset before \starttext will not show up in the output. If you observe that, you need to setup a bodyfont explicitly beforehand. In practice there should be no problems. The delayed loading is somewhat tricky but has been tested for a while.

If felt adventurous and I found the following problem:

%%%% minimal example %%%% \usetypescript[libertine] \setupbodyfont[libertine,12pt]

\starttext \startitemize[1] \item one \item two \stopitemize \stoptext %%%% end %%%%

Can you test if \setupbodyfont[libertine,12pt] \starttext $ABC \bullet \star$ \stoptext also fails?

It fails because itemize seems to require some math characters (the bullets) and the libertine font seems not to have them. lmodern don't kick in, it just fails:

! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. \mathematics ...rmalstartimath #1\normalstopimath \fi \dodosymbol ...bol \csname \??ss :#1:#2\endcsname \relax }\relax \donormalsymbol ...bol \redosymbol \currentsymbol \fi \fi \dodosymbol ...bol \csname \??ss :#1:#2\endcsname \relax }\relax \donormalsymbol ...bol \redosymbol \currentsymbol \fi \fi <to be read again> } ... l.7 \item o ne

Seems like a bug. If no math typescripts are defined, the fallback should have been loaded. (In any case, the libertine typescript should use either txfonts or perhaps xits as the default math fonts). Aditya
