Your ConTeXt surely knows about this command. > what is the use of this \usetypescript thing? Well, typescripts are complicated. See Bill' page at http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html using Helvetica works for me: -------------------------------------------------- \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos,ss,12pt] \starttext foo \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- > is Arial just a nickname for Helvetica sans-serif? Well, yes and no. There is no such thing as Helvetica sans-serif, because Helvetica *is* without serifs. And Arial and Helvetica are two different fonts, though similar looking and same metrics. But, depending on your setup, asking for Helvetica can result in using Arial in Acrobat Reader. Patrick
