Dear list,

I have a question which is really basic. MacOSX here.
I looked at the wiki, but the whole matter is a bit far from my knowledge.
Is there a way to use system fonts? I *think* I remember something like simpletypescript package

1. First, let's check if context is seeing the fonts that ship with OSX.

mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="palatino*" --all

palatino                     palatinobolditalic           /System/Library/Fonts/Palatino.ttc                           index:  4
palatinobold                 palatinobolditalic           /System/Library/Fonts/Palatino.ttc                           index:  4
palatinobolditalic           palatinobolditalic           /System/Library/Fonts/Palatino.ttc                           index:  4
palatinolinotype             palatinolinotyperoman        /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype.ttf
palatinolinotypebold         palatinolinotypebold         /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype Bold.ttf
palatinolinotypebolditalic   palatinolinotypebolditalic   /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype Bold Italic.ttf
palatinolinotypeitalic       palatinolinotypeitalic       /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype Italic.ttf
palatinolinotypenormal       palatinolinotyperoman        /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype.ttf
palatinolinotyperegular      palatinolinotyperoman        /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype.ttf
palatinolinotyperoman        palatinolinotyperoman        /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Palatino Linotype.ttf

OK. So, I have a palatino that ships with apple and Palatino Linotype that
ships with Microsoft Office (I think).

2. Let's create a typescript to use this (I haven't check the font license to see if you can distribute a pdf of this document. Please check your font license!):

\definefontfamily [myfont] [serif] [Palatino Linotype]
\setupbodyfont [myfont]

\starttext
This is a test \bold{Does bold work} and does \italic{italic}?
\stoptext

That's it! Simply compile the file and everything works. Of course, for a
real document, you need to set the sans serif, mono, and math font style as
well.
