Hmm, with Luatex I can use system fonts like in XeTeX. Am I right?
Yes but some fonts use AAT feayures rather than OpenType features (take a look at the Arabic thread), so don't worry if you want to use fonts for foreign languages like Arabic or CJK.

Hi to all, I've briefly presented ConTeXt to the students of my course in Visual Identities. They were all enthusiastic. So they asked me if I can give an introductory but "real" seminar. At my lab the students are all on macosx 10.4/5. Now the probem: All my students comes from humanities, no computer science background at all. I cannot ask them to be aware of low level installation aspects. My ideal would be something like the standard ConTeXt I was working with an year ago. One installs MacTeX and can start working. Now, we need easy font switching. I'm actually using XeTeX. But it has been complicated to set it up. I don't think I can have my students dig into installations ("patch this" etc). Is there any chance to have luatex into the next MacTeX distro? Any ideas? Many thanks Best
