Can someone tell me why \showfont[arial] does embed arial characters in the pdf, but \setupbodyfont[arial] has lmodern only? Hans van der Meer

When you use \showfont context tries to load a font file with the requested name, e.g. Arial.ttf but when you use \setupbodyfont context expects a complete typescript for the font where you specify the style (serif, sans or mono) and also the alternative (upright, italic etc.) Wolfgang
