Hi Rudolf,
using UnifrakturMaguntia (from http://unifraktur.sf.net), here is a
small sample:
\mainlanguage[deo]
\definefontfeature[default][default]%
[script=latn,ss06=yes,cv01=yes,ss01=yes,ss03=yes]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[UnifrakturMaguntia]
\starttext
\startlines
Habe nun, ach! Philosophie,
Juristerey und Medicin,
Und leider auch Theologie!
Durchaus studirt, mit heißem Bemühn.
Da steh’ ich nun, ich armer Thor!
\stoplines
\stoptext
I think that it's easier to use the simplefonts module than the standard
ConTeXt method. I guess one of the advantages of simplefonts is to
invoke font by OS name. I must admit I'm biased here: I don't actually
know how to use the standard ConTeXt font system :-).
Just in case they were needed (sorry if they aren't), two tips:
\setmainfont sets the font for the whole document. If you want only to
use it in a passage or from a given point
\definesimplefonttypeface[UnifratkturMaguncia] or
\definesimplefont[UnifrakturMaguncia].
OpenType features are enabled for the whole document with
\definefontfeature and they are enabled or disabled using the
four-character tag equals to yes or no.
I hope is clear. Don't hesitate to ask, if anything isn't.
I hope it might help,
Pablo
