An easy way to test OpenType fonts with Context/Xetex from scratch under Windows (XP):
1. Get Texlive 2007
2. Install the Context collection with the Texlive Manager (Xetex is included)
3. Create a little test file:
\enableregime[utf]
\definetypeface[myface][ss][Xsans][Arial]%or any else font in your /windows/fonts folder; run "fc-list >namelist.txt" to get them all
\setupbodyfont[myface, 12pt]
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
4. Run "texexec --xtx test.tex"

Hello Paul,
Thanks a lot for help with Xetex+Context on Windows.
And by the way, what is the "uc" encoding? It is not mentioned on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes

With best regards

That page should be improved. "uc" stands for Unicode. It might be
that it will become the default encoding for XeTeX in future anyway
(so that it will be possible to drop the explicit usage). "uc" is the
only encoding that makes sense in XeTeX since no other (except
texnansi by a pure chance) is supported there. And you cannot use "uc"
encoding in 8bit TeX (pdfTeX).
Btw: \enableregime[utf-8] is ignored in XeTeX: utf-8 is already the
default input regime.
Perhaps it might make sense to support other 8-bit regimes (it's only
one or two lines of modifications), but well ... the purpose of XeTeX
is too head towards future, not to look back into the past mess of
encodings.

Hello Mojca,
Thanks a lot. In other words, XeTeX handles Unicode-coded fonts and the author creates UTF-coded documents. Then those encodings are merged somewhere inside. Do I think right?
