Hi Jörg,

I don’t have a Mac, but this works in ConTeXt:

\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [sans]  [Helvetica]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [mono]  [Courier]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [math]  [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]

You don’t need to define a typescript. \definefontfamily is the command
you need.

Typeface should be defined only once ([rm] and [serif] are redundant).

Default body font size is 12pt.

I think it is easier to invoke typefaces with the system font name. I
mean, use the same name as you use in Word or any other MacOS X program.

I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to ask, if you have further questions.


Pablo
