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? 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? 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? On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:17 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Where I am in the current directory with all of the source files. Compiling stops with a font problem:
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type- akb.tex)) kpathsea: Running mktextfm texnansi-uplr8a
It is the same problem I ran into when trying to compile the manuals from the subversion repository: you don't have the needed metric files on your system.
When I asked Hans, he said:
Just run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat"
and that worked fine after a little bit of joggling with the TEXMFMAIN variable: this variable needs to point to the texmf tree that contains the afm files for the fonts, and on my system (teTeX 3) that is TEXMFDIST, not TEXMFMAIN. The easiest fix was to manually edit type-tmf.dat
Greetings, Taco
