The fonts are non-commercial thus the support files are not included. The fonts are on CTAN and there is a utility to install them to texmf-local.

I prefer the "Everything is already on your computer, let's try it!" approach. Having to install (and maintain) a second system makes it difficult to convince someone to try ConTeXt. Maybe the install instructions on the wiki should be amended for TL 2014. I look into that once the visualcounter is in TeX Live:-) Axel ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
