I used to predefine some font names, but now do so at runtime, depending on
usage an dencoding [keep in mind that there is more than english, so some
users may want to default to ec, il2, pl0, cyr, or whatever encoding]. You
set up the encoding in cont-sys.tex (it may be worth to take a look in
cont-sys.rme)
\setupencoding[default=texnansi]
This setup determines what typescript will be chosen, and for texnansi, i
didn't yet set up the ec one (which is default). So, there is a typescript
that maps lucida on the natural names, but this may eventually even change
into prefixed names, but i lost the original lucida files [that is, they
must be somewhere on an old floppy] and only have texnansi encoded ones.
if you take a look at the type-* files, you can get an idea on how things
are selected; these methods permit simple definition files [typescripts]
with many encodings without ending up in thousands of tex files for fonts
btw, the idea is that either you load the associated map files manually
[probbaly happens now] or let context/pdftex do so. i already discussed the
sometimes fuzzy map file handling with thanh and when he's back in vietnam
he will look into these issues.
