I want to generate PDF documents that use the standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times-Roman, and Courier) and not to embed these fonts. With my former installation (TexLive-2003 and a ConText distribution of last autumn) this was possible by using the following lines in the praeambel:
\usetypescript[adobekb][texnansi] \usetypescript[postscript][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,13pt]
(In addition, I had to configure pdfTeX by "updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 false").
After I upgraded to TexLive-2004 this does no longer work!
I found that the typescript "adobekb" was replaced by "type-akb". Yet, the encoding "texnansi" seems no longer to be available (Metafont complains that it can not find: texnansi-utmr8a). Changing the encoding to "ec" that still is available yields:
texnansi tfm files are not distributed (actually, what gets distributed is some mix of encodings) so you need to generate them using texfont
\usetypescript[type-akb][ec] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,13pt]
Yet, using these lines in the praeambel results in a document that uses the NimbusSanL-Regu font, that clearly has to be embedded.
you can make a private map file, say myfonts.map, and load that one with \loadmapfile[myfonts.map] lines with as first char an '=' will replace other map entries, so that way you can overrule defaults
Does anyone know how the standard PDF fonts can be used while not being embedded?
