Hello Dan,

Thanks for your rãspuns!

About the old style fonts: one of my biggest wishes is that I could help
you, because then I could help myself more often as well ;=}}

If you're using Computer Modern, cmmi (computer modern math italic) is the
oldstyle font, which is a hidden gem in the TeX distribution. ConTeXt has a
command like \os{123} which should yield oldstyle 123 but it might also be
{\os 123} --- anyway I use \fgos{123} in my setup.

The truth is, Taco Hoekwater assisted me in installing the font files that I
purchased from www.fontshop.be --- at the fontshop of course they have no
idea what TeX is, they assume we all have Apple Macs ;=}}

Then at one time ConTeXt came out with a new version and in principle it's
all easier, with logical names referring to mappings linked to symbolic
hooks, but it just serves to make me very dizzy. That's no fault of ConTeXt,
it's just that I'm basically stupid with such things.

I am one of those dumb users that aren't helped with examples of the
principles and pointers towards the logic in the patterns, I need to find
what I should copy exactly to a specific location so that I can get on with
what I'm doing. So it usually ends up with my calling up Hans in some
subdued panic, and he gives me some hints, and if I'm lucky I get things to
work. And as you see I did, at least at home.

On my home machine, it all works but on my laptop where I copied all from
home, I can't compile any ConTeXt file without running into numerous font
complaints and I save looking into it until I feel quite clever someday...

Groet!
