Newbie, question about fonts
Dear List, at first: thanks a lot for TeX and ConTeXt. I am really new to CoTeXt, TeX and LaTex, sorry. I come from the other side, from the DTP-side (the dark side). I have been working for more than 20 years in the graphics and prepess business with the mouse (only at the beginning some weeks playing with Linotype Series 300 and Linosetting and one day Berthold's ProfiPage). I managed to redo a simple old job with context: the book block of a novel, incl. front matter and fonts from my own library. Even the first results were amazingly beautiful. Now I want to redesign an academic journal (the International Journal of Conflict and Violence, www.ijcv.org) that I currently set with tango (something like Scribus or InDesign). I have got most of my font working with ConTeXt, but this time I failed. I can not get the ITC Franklin Gothic working. My installation is ConTeXt standalone on linux mint. I installed the otf-fonts by copying them into the directory ~/context/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/FranklinGothic/ . Then I run "mtxrun --generate" in the terminal. "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*franklin*" gives: itcfranklingothicstd itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbkcp itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdbold itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbolditalic itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstddemi itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstddmcp itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstddmcpit itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstditalic itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdnormal itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdregular itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf I thought that all font styles are available (but I only need Book Compressed, Book Compressed Italic, Demi Compressed, and Demi Compressed Italic).

Try this:
\definefontfamily[ijcv-fonts][sans][ITCFranklinGothicStd][tf=file:ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf,
it=file:ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf,
bf=file:ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf,
bi=file: ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf]
