Now that I finally have Context running I'm trying to install a number = of
type1 fonts. I've read the Texfont manual, but I couldn't find answ= ers to
these questions:
1. Can Texfont recursively process a font tree?

I have a directory font tree like this:

c:\fonts\type1\font-family1
c:\fonts\type1\font-family2
c:\fonts\type1\font-family3

each font-family subdirectory has a number of .afm files. If I set
--sourcepath to c:\fonts\type1 can Texfont recurse all the subdirectories o= f
the font families and locate and process the .afm files?


2. Can Texfont handle .afm files with extensions in uppercase?

Most of my type1 font files are in uppercase like: XYZ_____.AFM =A0 I can o= nly
get Texfont to process these files if I first rename them to lowercase, lik= e
XYZ_____.AFM

since you're new to context you can consider skipping pdftex and moving= on to either xetex or luatex (which uses context mkiv)

for luatex/mkiv you don't need to mess around with fonts as this combo = directly handles afm/pfb files so there is no need for creating tfm metrics=
