Hello,
I'm putting all my 'eggs' into ConTeXt basket and would like to learn it as
thoroughly as possible.
Considering that I always prefer physical books over starring at my computer
screen, I wonder if the books from the subject are still relevant for learning
about creating layouts and configuring additional (bought extra) fonts in
today's ConText?
Sincerely,
Gour

There are plenty of free font but here are my commercial favourites:
- lucida (very cheap via tug.org and a full set with math)
- optima nova (quite expensive but a treat for the eye)
- palatino nova (idem)

I do not have need for the math, do you still recommend them?

Beautiful, indeed!
Btw, I was thinking whether Fonts in ConTeXt book is still relevant (from the
ToC I conclude it deals with MkIV) aand/or provides enough info so that in case
I buy some 3prd party fonts (I am considering something from
https://mbtype.com/) I'll be able to configure ConTeXt to use them?
Similar concern in regard to layouts and the other book...but, I believe that
both are very useful in any case and ordering them is a small appreciation for
the work done for ConTeXt.
Sincerely,
Gour
