Yes, install your font (I assume is Gentium) on your operative system.

Run "mtxrun --script fonts --reload". (Not sure it is required, but I
need this each time I install a font.)

And (assuming you installed Gentium), here is the sample code:

\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Gentium]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

Compile it with "context gentium.tex" (change file name accordingly) and
it should work.

If not, please try to describe what happened.

I hope it helps,


Pablo
