Hi,

this might be a very simple problem, but I tried to figure it out for some time now without success. Reading manuals, searching with Google, etc. did not help. So if it actually is very simple, I herewith apologize. I really tried to solve it without the mailing list.

Here is the Problem:
The command "texexec" ignores the bodyfont setup. When I process the following code

    \setupbodyfont[gentium]

    \starttext
    This little text is enough to demonstrate the problem.
    \stoptext

with the command "texexec filename", the default font is used. Only when i use the command "context filename.tex", context uses the font gentium.
The gentium font is a truetype font and stored on my system under /usr/share/fonts.
I use Linux Mint Debian Edition 201204. My .bashrc file contains the following line:

    export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts"

I use the standalone version of context with pdftex. The command \contextversion returns "2012.07.27 16:41", i.e. the time I last updated it.

Using the mkiv switch did not help.

    texexec mkiv filename

Any comments are welcome.

For MkII you have to load the typescript file and the typescript yourself while for MkIV these two steps are done together with the \setupbodyfont command when the name for the typeface, typescript and file is the same (e.g. gentium and type-gentium).
