Of course, but I have to say that I wasn't able to find an introductory document explaining the whole stuff from the beginning.
What exactly do you find horrible there?
Nothing of course :) I was joking. But as the first page of the wiki is the starting point for many beginner, well, I would say that the second paragraph is misplaced.
Starting from its title it seems to suggest that mark IV is what you need in order to run ConTeXt, so go and download it. I think that the paragraph could be placed
[thanks for all the infos]
Judging by your questions and what you say you intend to do, I don't
think you would really benefit from Mark IV. Staying with Mark II is
fine, but actually, if your main concern is about fonts, I suggest you
have a look at XeTeX; look at the wiki for instructions and examples.
ConTeXt with XeTeX is known as Mark III, although the name is much less
used.
Thanks. It is exactly what I have started doing (with success until now at least). You're right, I think I can go with XeTeX.
