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] ... Now I get a new error message: ------------------------- mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value)

Any suggestions?

which context version ? 2011.05.18 18:04

As delivered with TeXLive 2011. hm, quite old but possible right. Can you try 1)mkdir texmf-project/test 2)## copy Minion fonts onto texmf-project/test

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext

in latest suite is ok.

Now that works! The error message went away. The program compiles a pdf file using the Minion Pro font. But the same test.tex program in the parent directory came up with the same error. So long as I run context etc. in that new directory, including my own document book.tex I get good results. When I move to another directory the world goes crazy again.
