Hello, John, Good luck grappling with fonts. I think the hardest thing in terms of transferring font knowledge is that it consists of numerous little tricks along the way. I *think* that you need at this point is: \usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding] It's in the cont-sys file as a potential line to uncomment. You'll also want to choose something for the \setupencoding line, too. I'm sorry I can't say for certain, but my TeXLive install is far from being virgin, at this point. (The hussy.)

No virtuous deed goes unpunished. I have been using old-fashioned \font commands with Context because the other was just too confusing. But I htought it was time to ger religion. So I copied the following pretty much verbatim from a manual:
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Palatino] \definefontsynonym [Palatino][uplr8r] [encoding=default] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1] ... \switchtobodyfont[14.4pt]
...and I get Computer Modern according to Acrobat Reader. ----------------------------------
But when I use this:
\font\rm=uplr8r at 12pt \font\bf=uplb8r at 14.4pt \font\bs=uplbo8r at 17.3pt \rm
I get the font I want where I want it. --------------------------------------------------- So what am I messing up in the first example?
