Hello! Encouraged by the recent User Meeting, I'm experimenting with sans serif fonts, trying to find something that I could use all over our documents (European languages) and that would be acceptable to the design people. One of the possibilities would be Lucida, but I'm not having much success with it... First I tried with the wiki, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida. The lucida.zip downloads and extracts nicely, but does not contain any .pfb files, so so much for that. Then I took a leap of faith and just put \setupbodyfont[lucida] in the setup area of my file and something is definitely happening, but then the process hangs. I retried with just ============== \setupbodyfont[lucida] \starttext \chapter{Testing Lucida} \input knuth \stoptext ============== Same result... The whole log is in the end of this message, but I suspect this is the essential part (which SciTe also marks with red): fonts > defining > font with asked name 'lbl' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font lucidamath subfont 12 with name file:lbl.afm at 458752 is skipped, not found !

I'm running the newest beta, ConTeXt ver: 2011.10.08 11:42 MKIV, and ConTeXt with SciTe in Win7. I compile the pdf with Ctrl+F12 and I get palatino and dejavu to work to an extent (if I switch the font name in the test file from "lucida" to "dejavu", everything works perfectly, so I guess either I'm missing something essential or there's a problem somewhere in the beta.
