The question is: what have you set OSFONTDIR to, and does that location actually contain the system fonts?
Thank you, Taco. Double checking, I find that I have set OSFONTDIR to C:\Windows\Fonts, which does indeed contain my 1074 system font files, 970 of them open type. The slightly different string you put on the webpage: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* now seems to find them. That was the problem.
My next problem is to make sense of what lies under the heading "The standard way: Typescripts".
Maybe a line like that is a typescript. Who knows?
It might be easiest to use the simplefonts module. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX#With_the__simplefonts_module
There is also a page on typescripts. It does not really explain the basic meaning of the word 'typescript', but it does give an example: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts I've tried to give a thorough description of the font terminology in ConTeXt in the 'fonts' chapter of the revised manual: http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf When reading that, keep in mind that in MkIV the font subsystem is a bit simpler because no encodings are used at all. Best wishes, Taco
