Font Introduction --- Or more of a reintroduction

Font Introduction --- Or more of a reintroduction

[David Arnold]

All,

It's been some time since I've tried anything other than the computer  
modern fonts. I am aware of the manuals for font instruction in  
Context, but if I want to pick up the topic again, what links and/or  
manuals should I read, and in what order, to get up-to-date  
instruction on handling fonts in context?

You're aware of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts
?

Looking at that, we really should write a step-by-step intro -- or  
better a decision tree / flowchart for all the different possibilities.
