When the fonts are in your Windows font directory you can try this:

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[Lucida Bright]

It works! And I learned something new and useful today, now I finally understand why it is called "simplefonts" (thankfully I already learned this module thing last year, so I had it already...).

Not only did I get Lucida to work, this seems to work as well:

\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Calibri]

Now I'm one happy ConTeXter, this'll stop most of the fights with the Word users...

NB. I'll wikify some of this stuff once I've got a bit of leftover energy. In the meanwhile, is there a way of finding out what fonts are included in the simplefonts module now? A quick wiki search on "simplefonts" didn't seem terribly useful, but might just be my inability to concentrate on the task…

simplefonts hasn’t any fonts included (except latin modern), it uses contexts font database to search for the requested font. You can get information from the database on the command line, e.g. a search for caliber on my system results in this: rover:~ wolf$ mtxrun --script font --list --all calibri* calibri calibri /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri.ttf calibribold calibribold /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Bold.ttf calibribolditalic calibribolditalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Bold Italic.ttf calibriitalic calibriitalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Italic.ttf calibrinormal calibriitalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Italic.ttf Wolfgang
