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 package that addresses 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, old-style figures, and the use of greek glyphs to give workable math fonts. Although the typescripts and commands are described together, certain features (like variant encodings for TEXFONT and the idiosyncratic method for creating new math fonts) can be used independently of the other features described.
