Hi Fabio,

it seems as a problem in your typescripts somewhere. 
I recommend you the Bill McClain's ConTeXt beginners manual:

http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html

It is IMHO the best documentation on fonts and typescripts.

Try to test your fonts step by step (starting with the simple \font command) - you'll soon find error like missinf TFM files, MAP files problems and so on...

Good luck!

-Richard

Subject: [NTG-context] [Newbie] Fonts!

Hello all.

Maybe this is a trivial question but I cannot understand what's going on.
I've read the mfonts.pdf and I tried to compile the following file:

\usetypescript[palatino]
\switchtobodyfont[palatino,11pt]
\starttext
Hello world
\stoptext

It works. Changing palatino to whatever other font name (even non-existant ones
like hfdjfh!) produces the same output. I used also the \setupbodyfont but same
result. texexec always says bodyfont: 12pt rm is loaded no matter what I
specify.

So the question is: how do I actually change the font my document is typeset in?

Thank you.
Fabio
