I am just starting on a new project and haven't fussed with body fonts yet. I specified specific fonts for the half and title pages. For the copyright page thus far I just used the default whatever that is. On that page the lower case "e" came out as a lower case "c" in every instance. I do have the following in my macros.tex subfile which I pass on from job to job: ------------------------- \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=10pt] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] ------------------------------------- maybe there is somethng funky there.

Default is Latin Modern.

The simplefonts module is obsolete. You didn’t \setupbodyfont.

Re question 2. You can have the list of loaded fonts files from the log file produced by context command, nearly the end : For example from my run : mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 4 files: dejavusansmono.ttf, ebgaramond12-regular.otf, keteryg-medium.ttf, sblgreek.ttf
From this you can deduce most probably the font file format.
Please use : mtxrun --script fonts To get more information on fonts database context uses. Hope this helps a bit.

Hi John, the default font size is 12pt.
2. In the second example which of the many Dejavu fonts is assumed to be the starting point? Is it a ttf or a otf version?
As Joseph Canedo explained, the DejaVu font seem to be a TrueType font. This may be (and I think it is) a font in OpenType format with TrueType outlines (instead of PostScript outlines).
3. Can any font family on the system be used or is there a specific context list?
Any system font (TTF, OTF and PS at least) can be used with ConTeXt. All that ConTeXt (or LuaTeX) requires is the way to find it. The safest way is the file name. Let us know whether you have further questions. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Thanks to you and Joseph! I am getting back into Context after a long absence and things are gradually coming back to me. My first new document is proceeding :<) -- John Culleton Wexfordpress Book design and indexing.

I am just starting on a new project and haven't fussed with body fonts yet. I specified specific fonts for the half and title pages. For the copyright page thus far I just used the default whatever that is. On that page the lower case "e" came out as a lower case "c" in every instance.
The substitution occurred when I viewed the pdf in xpdf but not in okular. I will report this to the proper(?) authorities. -- John Culleton Wexfordpress Book design and indexing.
