Re: XeTex & Mara Font

["Bart C. Wise" <bntgcontext@wiseguysweb.com>]

That seems to work.  I just renamed the fontname and family (removing the 
colon), generated a new ttf and loaded that into the system.

So this works:
\definetypeface[MaraFontNFPlain][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNFPlain]
\starttext
\startfont[MaraFontNFPlain]
This is a test.
\stoptext

And yes, the url is correct as far as where I got the font from.  And yes, 
there were other errors (or warnings) when I generated the font; however, it 
does work.

One quick question (again expressing my ignorance).  Why can't I take the code 
above and change it to the following:

\definetypeface[Mara][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNFPlain]
\starttext
\startfont[Mara]
This is a test.
\stoptext

Thanks,
Bart
