newbie problem with modules

newbie problem with modules

[Allin Cottrell]

I've used LaTeX for a long time, and recently decided to try context.
I can get a trivial document to compile OK (to pdf) but when I tried
using a presentation module (pre-original) I got an error with
use of \dodefinedfont "not matching its definition".  Any guidance
would be appreciated.  Partial output from th texexec run follows.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
(./try.tex{/usr/share/texmf/tex/pdftex/base/pdftex.cfg}

ConTeXt  ver: 2001.7.11  fmt: 2001.8.9  int: english  mes: english

then:

The source file is just a trivial test:

 This is the first item in my talk.

 Here is stuff under a ``Subject'' heading.

 Here is stuff under a new ``Subject'' heading.

\stoptext

Can you give the beta version a try? There ar ealso a couple of more styles 
in there,

Font support is currently under 'extension' and may suffer from some bugs, 
but the objective is to have a more flexible interface,
