All, Found this link. Helpful reading. http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~hartke/latex/survey/survey.html I downloaded: ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/fonts/iwona.zip Unzipped and put only the afm's and the pfb's in ~/tmp/iwona. Ran: iwona $ sudo texfont --ve=public --co=iwona --ma --in That seemed to go well and I compiled: iwona $ texexec --pdf texnansi-public-iwona.tex That went well. Got a nice pdf. Acrobat Professional reports that I have a slew of Iwona fonts in the document. Now, this little test file: iwona $ cat junk.tex %output=pdf \definetypeface[iwona][ss][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[iwona][mm][math][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[iwona][texnansi] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Stops with: (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) kpathsea: Running mktextfm rm-iwonar /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation -i for rm-iwonar. /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/ local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/map/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rm-iwonar This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.5) kpathsea: Running mktexmf rm-iwonar !

I wish I could get a better handle on what is going on. I feel like I am spinning my wheels. There's gotta be a typescript file for this iwona somewhere in the distribution. Can someone tell me where it is? David
