Here is an example: stonesans StoneSans c:/fonts/ITC Stone Sans/SS__.AFM So far, so good. Now, I want to use this font and you included a link to a Wiki article. This article says I have to use a typescript. The example typescript from the Wiki uses the \definetypeface command.

Using the example from the Wiki: \definetypeface [Bonum] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [default] how would I use this command to be able to use my Stone Sans font from the mtxrun output? In the [Bonum] example I can't find a reference to a font file of the type c:\fonts\etc. The \definetypeface command alone is not enough, you have to tell ConTeXt which of the fonts should be used for the upright, italic, bold etc. style. You can find such a example at the end of the page -> http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex#Example It's a good exercise to write a complete typescripts once by hand but when you want a simpler way to use font with LuaTeX you can use the simplefonts module, it hides the complete typescript mechanism from the user and you have to know only a few commands, the following code should be enough to use your font in a document. \usemodule[simplefonts] % make sure the module is available on your system \setmainfont[StoneSans] % create a typescript for 'StoneSans' and enable the font \starttext This is a dummy text which is hopefully typeset with the StoneSans font, you could also switch the style to {\it italic}, {\bf bold} or {\bi bolditalic}. \stoptext Wolfgang ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

The version on garden should be working now. Now --context=beta (default) and --context=current should give you the same version of ConTeXt and after a lng time current version in minimals works again :) :) :) I took the trunk version for Windows since beta-0.42.0 is not yet available on Akira's site.

This is just my guess why it happens: usually textstyle and style would exclude one another (no reason why one would use both for the same section). The problem is that textstyle is inherited from section to subsection, and then subsection has both style and textstyle and textstyle takes precedence over style. A human being would expect the latest settings "style=" of subsection to be obeyed, not the inherited conflicting value, though this might be a bit tricky to change.
