This article examines the basic steps necessary for OpenType font installation, with a focus on ConTeXt-oriented tools. Along the way, I will give overviews of the general font installation workflow and of the TeX font font installation script. The article assumes a fair amount of confidence at the command line and a properly-configured ConTeXt installation.

Being a Mac user, he is naturally passionate about fonts. Adam may be contacted at
