In principle both should work with simpleslides module though I never tested it with simplefonts. > Wolfgang, that was also the point I wanted to clarify since from my > earlier reading of the manual's section on "Choosing on your own fonts", > the example pointed to using typescripts.

Earlier, you had to use \usetypescript[dejavu] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] to use an existing typescript. Since a year or more now, the first line is not needed. You can just use \setupbodyfont[dejavu] and context will run \usetypescript[...] if a typescript is not already loaded. > One last question stemming from the Jean-Luc Dumont's article on effective > communications: is there a way to turn off the interaction bar in the > slides.

The best solution is to copy the Shaded style to another file and remove the code for the bottom bar. Thomas and I were working on a more extensible version of simpleslides, but haven't had the time to finish it.
