Thanks again...  I tried to put some info on the wiki (as promised):
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/A_Beginner's_Guide_to_Using_Fonts_in_Mark_IV
However, I had serious problems with a few fonts.  After skimming
through type-otf.tex I thought these would work, but no - they don't...
(See the above page for which fonts generate problems.)  Also, please
check whether the page I've written is correct, especially the last
paragraph...

And one more problem, just out of curiosity: is
\usetypescriptfile[type-otf] really necessary?  Why is it not the
default (at least in MkIV)?

Greets and thanks in advance (as usual);)
