Hi Thomas,
May be that I am not the right person to reply. Never the less I have
installed quite some fonts in ConTeXt.
As you show in your message, you have the pfb and afm files.
With afm2tfm you can generate a tfm file with the required encoding (Could
one use e.g. texnansi?)
By means of texfont you can generate the fontfiles needed for ConTeXt in the
required encoding including a mapfile which you can include in the
pdftex.cfg.

Please excuse this long post. I was/am fiddling with fonts, "probably the most complicated aspect of TeX," to quote Hans... I feel I'm almost there, but I still need some help and would be very grateful if anybody could give me a hint. Thanks to Giuseppe Bilotta's help, I managed to typeset classical Greek with the CB-Greek fonts. Everything works, the accents are in the right places etc., yet the original CB-Greek doesn't look very good in pdfs. I have a very beautiful Greek font that comes with the LaTeX "psgreek"-package; it works in LaTeX and is, according to the manual, encoded with the same map as CB-Greek (in LaTeX, the encoding is called lgrenc.def, but I couldn't find any useful imformation in that file). I wrote a typescriptfile to use it in ConTeXt. The font works, all the glyphs are there, as I can see with a \showfont, but they're not in the right slots, which means that it doesn't build the correct ligatures for displaying accents etc. I assume I need to write a new encoding file to reassign the glyphs to their new position. I'd be willing to do this by hand (there aren't too many of them, after all), but how do I go about that? What I have got about this font (it's called "GreekOxonia," and in my eyes, it's the most beautiful typeface that's out there for classical Greek): greeoxon.pfb greeoxon.sfd greeoxon.sfd~ greeoxon.afm greeoxon.tfm a map file psgreek.map and a couple of accompanying .vf, .ovf and .ofm-files (all of them containing just a few characters of gibberish when I try to open them). Can anybody give me a hint where I could start? Any help would be most appreciated! Best Thomas
