But you can have somebody how takes a look at the font list
in Adobe Reader and complains that you don’t use Arial.
ConTeXt has predefined typescripts for Times New Roman,
Arial and Courier but they don’t work on each system
(e.g. the fonts use different filenames on the Mac).
The simplefonts module makes things a little bit easier
because it tries a few combinations to find the files
but it still depends on the filename.
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Arial]
\setmonofont[Courier New]
\starttext
This Arial in combination with {\tt Courier New}.
\stoptext
The spec-system is another system to make font loading
easier but the quality of the result depends on the font
information which are sometimes a mess.
\definetypeface[mainface][ss][specsans][Arial]
\definetypeface[mainface][tt][specmono][Courier New]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
This Arial in combination with {\tt Courier New}.
\stoptext
