Hi,
I have some problems when i _try_ to install new fonts. I use the
TeXLive 2003 inst on Windows XP
I referred to 2 documents viz. "TeXFont explained" and
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html
And, i got thoroughly confused as the methods, in both docs failed :((
please direct me to appropriate resources
and also, please maintain a newbie forum
it is so embarassing to ask such questions, while the rest of you do
some _real_ ConTeXt

Font installation is not a trivial or newbie problem, and you're in
the right place place to ask this question. However, "both methods
fail" might not be precise enough as a description of what went
wrong. If you're looking for other tutorials, Practex journal 2005 #
2 (http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/) has to articles about installing
fonts for ConTeXt, one by Adam Lindsay (on Open Type fonts) and one
by yours truly on Truetype fonts.

Hint 1. Update your ConTeXt, like Adam said already in
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/011890.html
Hint 2. Don't install command-line programs in C:\Program Files. That
space in the directory name tends to confuse them.
(although it should work OK with the newest TeXFont)
Good luck,
Taco

The key line for the .otf stuff is here:
> TeXFont 1.8 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2003
It's way too old. The version (2.2.1+) in the current ConTeXt fixes some
OTF installation bugs with non-adobe fonts.
hope that's a little help.
