What is wrong with my installation (or my document)?
Can you attach your log file? Does adding \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] on top of the document help?
Adding that line doesn't change the behavior. I've attached a copy of the log. Your log file is exactly same as the log file that I get (but I go get correct font scaling).
Rory, if updating your old ConTeXt mkii is not an option, then try this. It's form is also instructive and may help you with future setups. ========= \starttypescript [palatino-ec] % \definebodyfontenvironment %% optional % [palatino] % [default] % [interlinespace=2.7ex] \definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec] \definetypeface [palatino] [ss] [sans] [modern] [default] [encoding=ec,rscale=1.075] \definetypeface [palatino] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] [encoding=ec,rscale=1.075] \definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] \quittypescriptscanning \stoptypescript \usetypescript[palatino-ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext test \ss Hello world! {\tfa\ss tfa} {\tfb\ss tfb} {\tfc\ss tfc} {\tfd\ss tfd} \stoptext ========= Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
