These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir. I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font. I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX and got the two fonts listed in the font database.

I put the following in my MKIV context file: ... \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[minionproregular] %

%\whitespace[line]

\usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt]

To use the fonts which are shipped with Adobe Reader you can use two different methods.

Method 1:

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[Minion Pro][protrusion=quality]

\setupalign[hanging]

\starttext\showframe \input tufte \stoptext

Put that exact text in a file test.tex, ran context test.tex and got the same error message: mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value)

This message cropped up after I ran some of the scripts in the wiki. I seem to have messed something up in that process.

Unless I receive other directions here I am considering reinstalling texlive-2011. I strongly suggest to you to install latest suite (was standalone was minimals ) into a separate dir (ie /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-29) and eventually copy the fonts you need into that folder. You can always use the TeXLive in a separate shell -- luigi
