Hello,
Ligatures seem to be missing when using the ConTeXt minimals distribution (8/8/2007) with the times font (see below example). Note that ligatures are rendered correctly using live.contextgarden.net, so I assume that something needs to be configured on my end.
Could someone please be kind enough to tell me what I should configure to get proper ligatures for the times font in the minimals distribution?
Cheers, Mike

\input knuth \blank And this is some maths with PostScript fonts. \startformula {a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}. \stopformula Some ligatures: ffi, ffl.

Weird indeed ... The funny part is that I get two warnings (both of them are my faut since I don't have those files): pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file fonts : using map file: ec-urw-helvetica pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file fonts : using map file: original-youngryu-tx and the output still looks fine (I get at least fi ligature, I'm not sure about the others.). It looks like a font problem to me, but not something that the user could misconfigure. (Old or wrong font files perhaps? I really have no clue.) The garden doesn't use the standalone distribution (but a fraction of TeX Live). Mojca I will try to investigate, but I don't promise anything. A quick workaround would be to use TeX Gyre instead.
