Font question

[Marcin Borkowski <mbork@atos.wmid.amu.edu.pl>]

Hi all!

I'm going to start using ConTeXt; I've been planning to do so for a few
years, but now I finally have Internet access at home, so it's easier
for me to look things up in the wiki (or ask here;)).

I have two questions.  The first one is connected with fonts.  I can't
understand ConTeXt's font mechanism, which seems way too complicated for
me; could anyone just tell me how I can switch to, e.g., Antykwa
Poltawskiego (I'm Polish, so I'd like to use it;)) or, say, Pagella?  Of
course, I'd also like to be able to typeset Polish texts with them; will

\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage[pl]

be enough (apart, of course, from adapting ConTeXt to Polish typography
customs, like dots after chapter numbers etc.)?

I think that that's what the wiki lacks: a beginner's guide on _using_
fonts (not _installing_ them or _messing_;) with them).  If someone
enlightens me on this, I could write something on the wiki about it.

And the second, a bit "philosophical" question: the official manual is
not so new.  How do I learn ConTeXt best?  I mean, are changes to the
user interface since 2001 so big that I could run into troubles using
the manual?  Or are there some changes which make something
easier/possible which was difficult/impossible at the time or writing
the manual - how do I learn about these?

And last but not least - Hans, thanks for such a great TeX macro
package!

Yours

It is impossible to split a cube into two cubes, a fourth power into
two fourth powers and so on.  I've found a remarkable proof of this
fact, but unfortunately it's too long to fit into the signature.
