Thank you ... that was key information I didn't have. I was instead downloading the TTF files from sil.org.
- Gentium works out-of-the-box in ConTeXt (see the documentation of gentium-tug)
When you say "out of the box", I think you're referring to the gentium-tug package box, not the ConTeXt box... in other words, I should not expect Gentium to work just because I installed ConTeXt; I have to also install gentium-tug, right? If not, I must be doing something wrong because I can't find Gentium in the luatex-cache font database.
This is under TeX Live 2013, the context scheme, and I've been using ConTeXt mkiv. So why bother about pdfTeX?
Only because the latest instructions I could find said to use texfont, which uses ttf2afm, which was missing and I thought it might come from pdfTeX. I'm glad to know I don't have to, and I'll update that wiki page accordingly. Thanks again, Lars
