The most important thing I understand from reading the fonts manual and the ConTeXt manual's old and new font chapter for the n-th time (lost count), is that explaining fonts and their use is not a piece cake. As such, every effort in trying to explain it in a way that's understandable to non initiated people can only be appreciated and welcomed.

Nevertheless, I wonder...

Are fonts like men, or like women ? ;O)

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.” - Helen Rowland

As for the issue at hand...

Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear, Just for a while, dear, we must part. Don't let the parting upset you, I'll not forget you, sweetheart. We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day. Keep smiling through, just like you always do, 'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say hello to the folks that I know, Tell them I won't be long. They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go, I was singing this song.

After the rain comes the rainbow, You'll see the rain go, never fear, We two can wait for tomorrow, Goodbye to sorrow, my dear.

i can't help it, but the song reminds me of the end of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb the same is true for fonts ;) - Peter
