After jumping through hoops, with some help I managed to get XeTeX
running and using TTF fonts directly with pdfTeX.

But before I go any further I would like to know what is your opinion
in using one or the other. When researching a bit on XeTeX I read
there were several caveates vs. using pdfTeX with LaTeX.

Is this the same? In ConTeXt. What can I expect to work and what not?
If TTF can be used with pdfTeX (with some effort) what is the
advantage of using XeTeX with ConTeXt?

Thanks,
Pepe
