Hi all,

I am trying to setup Arial fonts...I am quite a newbie to this ConTeXt
thing...

Once Willi told me to use:

>Hi Jose
>
>use
>
>\usetypescript[helvetica][\defaultencoding]
>\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt]
>
>Success!
>
>Willi

I have just done \setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt] cause

\usetypescript apparently is not recognised in my ConTeXt (previous
version to the latest update of these days)

what is the use of this \usetypescript thing?

is Arial just a nickname for Helvetica sans-serif?

cheers !

Jose Ignacio
