Context works fine but, like you, I have not >succeeded in installing any new font thusfar. Okay, I get the message: there are quite a few frustrated would-be font users out there. I see it as being something that someone can understand (and explain) fairly well in the abstract, but the details throw up distribution-specific problems. So, because it's the only area I can hope to fix, are there any Mac users out there (gwTeX) that are (still) frustrated with fonts in the way that Rob and Ciro are? For those Mac users, is it a matter of using pre-installed fonts (Palatino, Helvetica, etc.), or installing your own fonts that is so frustrating? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
