Gerben, Taco, et al, OK. I have a completely up-to-date TeX installation (GWTeX on Tiger). Thanks for your help. My technique was to "Make Fat" each component, then burn them onto a disk, then replace my I-packages directory contents on my home computer with the packages on the burn disk. Then I did an install, include CM-super and Context updater. Context now works. This file: \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext Compiles and views fine. This file: \definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=texnansi] \definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold] \starttext \MySecondFont Hello, World! \stoptext Gives a headache. It compiles and views, but when viewing in Acrobat Professional, there are clearly ugly bitmapped fonts in the document (I also tried encoding=texnansi and \defaultencoding). Document properties reveal that I am using: F38 Type: Type 3 Encoding: Custom Actual Font: F38 Actual Font Type: Type 3 On the other hand, this file: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{charter} \begin{document} Hello, World! \end{document} Compiles and view fine and Acrobat Professional reports that I am using: CharterBT-Roman (Embedded Subset) Type: Type 1 Encoding: Custom And the output in Acrobat Professional looks good. Looks like a Type 1 font to me, not an ugly bitmap. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow or so, but then I'd like to try the texfont thingy again with type-tmf.dat and see if I can get Context to find the font and use it correctly. Waiting for advice. Thanks for everything today. Final bit of information: darnold $ locate uhvr8a.afm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.afm darnold $ kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFMAIN /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf darnold $ kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMF {/Users/darnold/Library/texmf,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local,!!/ usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf} darnold $ kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFTE /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex On Nov 20, 2005, at 3:33 PM, Gerben Wierda wrote:

Gerben, Taco, OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type- tmf.dat. lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat lm $ Does it matter which of these I use?
Take the one in texmf.local. It should not make a lot of difference, but that one is the latest, and also it belongs to the ConTeXt you are running.
Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things: 1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point?
kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFMAIN
expands the variable TEXMFMAIN (on the terminal). I'm not sure which one you need, because I am not familiar with gwTeX. You need the one that contains the afm files, like uhvr8a.afm. For me that file is in:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.afm
$ locate uhvr8a.afm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.afm
so I needed the tree that starts with
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist
Assuming a (ba)sh command line shell, this should do it (three lines):
lm $ TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist lm $ export TEXMFMAIN lm $ texfont ....
2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file?
To answer the question anyway: I do not believe that is possible. But with the solution above, there is no need to edit type-tmf.dat.
(I hope I'm not confusing you, but I am on Linux and teTeX so being precise is hard)
Cheers, Taco
