Either of the above techniques depends on font names that are defined outside of ConTeXt--by the underlying TeX distribution, by you, the user, or by a local administrator. So if neither of Hans' solutions works, you will just have to dig into your TeX font directory (e.g. /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts if you are on Linux--don't know for Windows) and find out the exact file names. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee@havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.)
