I seem no to be able to use system fonts, not with /simplefonts neither with typescripts. When I define

(or any other system font in my Windows font directory e:/windows/ fonts as defined in osfontdir), I get

You have to define also a typeface to use the typescript, e.g. \starttypescript [serif] [arnoproregular] … \stoptypescript \definetypeface [myfont] [rm] [serif] [arnoproregular] [default] \setupbodyfont[myfont] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

First, I don't understand "unknown library 'loc' " > I haven't defined that. Or does it mean 'local'? When I do the same with, say, garamond, I also get the line "unknown library 'garamond' " > why does it think garamond is in a library? When I do

mtxrun --script fonts --list --info --pattern=arnoproregular*

mtxfonts gives me all kinds of information, so the font *is* known to ConTeXt. Or is that a rash conclusion?

Which information do you get?

Second, there is not even a mention of the typescript or the font in the log. Why is that? Is it purely a syntax error in my setup as copied above?

Thirdly - of course - my question is: how can I make ConTeXt use my system fonts?

On Windows and Mac you can use system fonts out of the box, you have to write only a typescript or use simplefonts.

I use TexLive (most recent version), Texworks and Windows 7. Before I had a standalone ConTeXt set-up, which gave the same problems.

Can you try the following example with the current beta from the ConTeXt Suite. \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Arno Pro] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang
