Of course, but I have to say that I wasn't able to find an
introductory document explaining the whole stuff from the beginning.
What exactly do you find horrible there?
Nothing of course :) I was joking. But as the first page of the wiki
is the starting point for many beginner, well, I would say that the
second paragraph is misplaced.
Starting from its title it seems to suggest that mark IV is what you
need in order to run ConTeXt, so go and download it. I think that the
paragraph could be placed
in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/What_is_ConTeXt, when one has
already understood what is pdfTeX.
[thanks for all the infos]
Judging by your questions and what you say you intend to do, I don't
think you would really benefit from Mark IV. Staying with Mark II is
fine, but actually, if your main concern is about fonts, I suggest you
have a look at XeTeX; look at the wiki for instructions and examples.
ConTeXt with XeTeX is known as Mark III, although the name is much
less
used.
Thanks. It is exactly what I have started doing (with success until
now at least). You're right, I think I can go with XeTeX.
Many thanks
Best

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
