Title: OpenType in ConTeXt

Abstract: This is a summary of issues encountered and solutions implemented in order to support some advanced OpenType features in ConTeXt. This article describes an accompanying set of support files that address installation (using TeXFont), accommodating extended opticals families, and some "pro" font features. The extended character set afforded by pro fonts enables support for comprehensive small caps and old-style figures. Although the typescripts and commands are described together, certain features (like variant encodings for TeXFont and optical typescripts) can be used independently of the other features described.
