Re: [NTG-context] Fonts readily available in Context
There is also support for fourier, euler, and kurier, but no you have to invoke them explicitly, useing \definetypeface. Is there really support for fourier? I've not been able to get it working since long time ago. I get utopia text working, but not fourier math.

Aditya has just suggested to create a bunch of definitions equal to

been implemented in ConTeXt yet, and I agree that they could (should)
be.
Or, to use Palatino for text and some maching math fonts, I can use the
command
\usepackage{mathpazo}
ConTeXt currently has no support for mathpazo (one can always write
it), but it uses pxfonts. I don't know if that's better or worse, but
at least it works out of the box.
Are there fonts in Context with matching Math fonts other than Computer modern
that can be used in an as simple manner,i.e., by just issuing few commands.
As others have already written:
- Palatino, Times (TeX Gyre, actually)
- Lucida (if you have the fonts)
- Iwona, Kurier, Antykwa Torunska
- Euler, Fourier, Concrete Math - never tried it myself
If
yes, can you please guide me to a resource which lists at least some of these
fonts (again they should have matching math fonts) and the simple commands
necessary to load them. I would find that really helpful
For palatino, times, iwona, kurier (not yet, but should be fixed),
antykwa-torunska, see Yue's and Aditya's answer. In Unicode (xetex,
luatex) you should use
\usetpescript[name]
\setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded]
and in pdfTeX you need
\usetpescript[name][ec]
\setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded]
You can take a look at type-tmf.tex, type-one.tex, type-otf.tex and
math-*.tex in ConTeXt sources.

keep in mind that this will only work for mkii (unless the default tex
encoding is used); mkiv will operate in unicode math mode and if we want
to support older math fonts there we should make a setup for virtual
unicode math fonts (no big deal but i have no time for it now)
Or, to use Palatino for text and some maching math fonts, I can use the command
\usepackage{mathpazo}
ConTeXt currently has no support for mathpazo (one can always write

at least it works out of the box.
so what is the advantage over what we have then? currently we use px too
and eventuallt it will be replaced by gyre
- Euler, Fourier, Concrete Math - never tried it myself
concrete is fun by there are no outlines (at least no good free ones
that i know of)

I installed pxfonts and the command now works great and I do get the Palatino output. I am very new to Context and this last week was mainly a kind of trial to see how I like it. So far I love what I see. Also, I think the fact that there are so many helpful people here in this forum has convinced me that if I get stuck with something, which I will, there are experts whom I could ask for help. Hence, I have decided to use it for most of my documents. Things are very busy now, and hence for the next month or so I plan to continue using the version that comes with TeXlive, but after that I will try to update and get the latest stable version. I hope that in future Context makes more fonts available. For now it seems I will be using Palatino, which is good too.
