Okay, this business of fonts/files/names/encoding/etc is really difficult to understand for me. I have a simple question. How do I list all fonts I have available to use in ConTeXt in the machine/system I have? Is there a file where I can see the names of all these fonts? And is there a template file or a command to display the entire set of characters once I know the name of fonts? FYI, I use ConTeXt with Linux Fedora Core 3. I appreciate your help Ciro

don't worry:FONTS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT.

I suggest you to look at texfont program and mfonts.pdf mtexfont.pdf showfont.pdf They can be a bit outdate, but still useful. I have printed My Way -- OpenType in Context by Adam T.Lindsay-- also really useful. luigi
Hello Ciro,

welcome to the club ;-)

This should be stated in your local guide. If not, complain to the distribution maintainer.

You and 95% of all users, so don't feel bad. I've given up. I use whatever comes out, which I guess is computer modern. (I can use "Postscript" Times Roman, but no other "Postscript" font works for me. Which is ok, since I use a lot of math and math comes out in cm no matter what font you use.)
