Available fonts and using them

Available fonts and using them

[richard.stephens]

Hello all,

I have read many of the documents from the Wiki on using fonts, but I am
still not sure of one or two, probably obvious, things:

1) I'm being asked to use Arial font (not my choice!) and I see from
searching the context tree that there are .afm files, .tfm files and .map
files with 'arial' in the name. Does this mean I can use Arial out of the
box? If so, how? I've tried putting \setupbodyfont[arial,10pt] in my
environment file, but it does nothing. I've tried various other things as
well, copied but only half understood, from the other documents, but none
of them work either! I could follow the guide on installing a new font, but
if it's already available then I'd rather not!

2) How do I find out what fonts are available "out of the box" and how do I
invoke them?

Thanks,

Richard.

P.S. I'm using mkii -- one day I'll get around to setting up mkiv, but not
today!
