I will look for that, because it turns out that I still need to use a TTF font. Gentium Plus does not include bold and bold-italic weights, and Gentium Basic doesn't include all the characters ranges I need. We have a customized version of Gentium Basic with bold weight, with an extra character added, and it's a TTF. We had it working with mkii but not yet with mkiv. >> When you say "out of the box", I think you're referring to the >> gentium-tug package box, not the ConTeXt box... in other words, I should >> not expect Gentium to work just because I installed ConTeXt; I have to >> also install gentium-tug, right? > The font is installed by default when installing the ConTeXt > distribution.

And when I tried to use \setmainfont[Gentium], I got errors, 'simplefonts > font ''gentium'' not found'. After installing the gentium-tug package (sudo /usr/local/bin/tlmgr install gentium-tug), and compiling a .tex file using \setmainfont[Gentium], the errors went away, and my names.tma now includes several variants of Gentium. At no point did I run mtxrun (knowingly). On the other hand, on Windows, I had installed TeX Live context scheme as well, and have not installed gentium-tug. But I did install Gentium as an OS font (using TTF files). I then ran mtxrun --generate (as suggested by Hans), and after that, gentium* showed up in names.tma, and I was then able to successfully compile a .tex file using \setmainfont[Gentium] with mkiv context. (But that didn't work before I ran mtxrun --generate.) Just a couple of data points in case they're relevant.
