Re: Re: Why uses Context 8r encoding used instead of the specified ec encoding?

Playing around with fonts is one of my favorite (and immensely 
time-consuming) hobbies. Here's a couple of links where I learned many 
useful things. Some of them are a bit LaTeX-centric, but most of the 
stuff is still applicable to ConTeXt:

http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html [that should be 
your first stop, immensely useful]

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rf/pstex/index.htm [clear and helpful]

http://homepage.mac.com/bkerstetter/tex/fonttutorial-current.html [for 
LaTeX  and OS X, but useful even for other distros]

http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/Fontes/fontes.html [a wealth of 
information, in French]

http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm [a classic: somewhat outdated, 
but still useful]

I assume that you have looked at the ConTeXt manuals about fonts: 
mfonts.pdf, mtexfont.pdf. Finally, for the somewhat advanced user, have 
a look at Adam's MyWays: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ which also 
contain a wealth of information.
