I can't seem to find that message. I will probably need one serif font = for
the text of the book, a plain sans serif font to use for entries in a table= ,
a fancier sans serif font for chapter titles and, possibly a different
not-too-plain sans serif font for page headers. Also, I can't figure ou= t how
to tell ConTeXt which font to use for page headers.

I guess you know http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts ?

Without knowing the subject and/or intended audience of your book I can'= ;t suggest suitable fonts.

Generally I find Palatino (TeX Gyre Pagella) with Frutiger (in a pinch: MS = Calibri) a very good combination, even if rather conservative.

SIL Gentium is also a very nice body font, if you like a "soft, human&= quot; touch. Linotype Finnegan is a matching sans-serif; perhaps try Libert= ine Biolinum, if you want a free one.

For more technically looking sans's I like LM Sans and URW Grotesk (esp= ecially in small sizes).
