Hello David,
I am new to ConTeXt, as my question is about to reveal.
This questions can also come from more experienced users :)
Which set of instructions should I follow, in order to allow use of Palatino or Times, on Mac OS X, Gerben Wierda's TeX distribution, latest ConTeXt installed?
OK, do you have LaTeX working? Then you can use the standard postscript fonts for ConTeXt as well. Have a look at the (yet unfinished page)
Sadly, that page relies on type-pre, which is deprecated! (Yes, the situation changes again.)
So, the situation should now be:
% Times, Helvetica, Courier: \usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding] % default=ec \usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [postscript]
OK, I tried this setup, and ConTeXt ran without stopping to complain, but (as Otared described, I guess) the font actually produced is very jaggy, both on screen and in print. My nostalgia for dot matrix printers is not as great as one might suppose. :-) And I thought I was just asking for a shortcut answer to a dumb question! Thanks for the help David
