Hello,

Thomas has just prepared a new font package (before leaving for a few
days) with support for Gentium:
     http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/gentium/

I'll add it to minimals, but you may play with it already.
The contents of Greek module will be adapted once he comes back, but
you can use it in standard ways.

\usetypescriptfile[type-gentium]
\usetypescript[gentium][agr]
\setupbodyfont[gentium]

\enableregime[...]

\starttext
... greek text ...
\stoptext

Mojca—

Just to confirm: Is Gentium now included with the  minimals and, if  
so, what is the date of these minimals. (The latest version of the  
minimals that I can get running ./first-setup.sh are those which have  
ConTeXt 2008.11.10.)

Yes. (The ttf file is a bit broken, but it theoretically works OK in TeX.)

You should get Gentium installed independent on what version of ConTeXt you use.

\usetypescriptfile[type-gentium]
\usetypescript[gentium][ec] % or whatever other encoding you might want to use
\setupbodyfont[gentium]

Should work fine. Well, I just figured out that there's a typo in type
in type-gentium (gentim-basic should be replaced with gentiumbasic). I
also forgot to include the agr encoding, but it's there now.

I have no idea how Greek-specific stuff like \usemodule[greek] was
supposed to work (and no patch to fix that has been added as far as I
know). But you should be able to use Old Greek encoding.
