Re: font tryout

Hi Hans, everyone. I hope you don't mind if I add on a question of my
own here.

That's the first time I have succeeded in getting any font other
than computer modern! Thanks.

The above comes out using the URW fonts. If I use dvips -Ppdf on the
DVI file, they get included into the PDF file.  What I want to do is
use the fonts *built into* Acrobat. That way, the file size will be
smaller.

In latex, for example, I did this using the txfonts package:

\usepackage{txfonts}

This ended up with everything in Times-Roman, which did not get
embedded so the file size was minimal.

Could you tell me how to do this with ConTeXt? I don't know enough to
be able to tell if this is really a Context question, but any pointers
would be appreciated.

Also, what is the a direct way to specify a font, (by filename?), without
using all the Context font infrastructure which I do not understand yet.

For example,

..
\usethisfontrightnow[utmr8a]
Stuff in Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular
..

The only reason I want to do this is for testing, there are just so
many layers in the way at the moment that I don't know where things
go wrong.
