I'm happy 2 b of help, although I'm basically just packaging things that Hans, Adam, and others have said over the last month >BTW, how do you use a ttf font directly in context? There was a thread on TimesNewRoman that I started a few weeks ago that has the details. Check out the archives on pragma. Basically, its exactly the same as the Garamond procedure except that you do not use any afm files; just the ttf files. Also, Hans has provided a way to just access the windows font directory; me, I used a temp dir like before. Look at that thread...
