not automatically, you have to ask for it: \usepackage{lmodern}

Hi Hans,

ok, you're right. What I meant: after loading lm, no further work is needed
to get bold tt.

sure, but it would break compatibility (unless everyone agrees upon having bold tt enabled by default); latex has different compatibility rules (and does not default to latin modern)

But they are not so bold as the cmbtt ones. Anyway: how could the dark lmtt
font be activated in ConTeXt and could this be included in the
distribution?


by default, context loads the cmr fonts with design sizes, nowadays replaced by their latin modern alternative

in order to be backward compatible (although one can dispute the neccessity of this) the dark etc variants are not used

In fact, you are never backward compatible. Just an example:
\setupindenting[medium] is now \setupindenting[medium]
And there are a lot more.
hm, not that many i hope; concerning the indenting, that was basically a merge of two commands [and the auto yes was a bug]

If someone does not want bold tt in lm, then there could be a switch like
"\nobftt".

Nevertheless: thanks for your suggestions, they work very well!
Hans
