Hi,

I found this Type-1 Unicode font
    http://bibliofile.mc.duke.edu/gww/fonts/Unicode.html
which I would like to use with \ConTeXt.

It consists of:
Caslon (serif font): roman, oblique, bold, black, small-caps (but no 
bold-oblique)
Monospace (~courier): roman, oblique, bold [and no-Type-1 bold-oblique]
Cupola (~~~Informal): Roman, italic, bold, bold-italic, small caps
Caliban (~helvetica): Roman(?)

How can I use it best? I'd like to use it as complete replacement for CM 
for some documents, since has a lot of nice characterts.

---------------------------
They do not contain
     * Any of the CJK characters (ideographs)
     * Asian & Indian alphabets and sylabaries
