Hi all, after trying to solve the problem myself for several hours, I now seek your help. I'm trying to typeset a document in Times-Roman, the plain one. I did that with Context 2 years ago just by saying \setupbodyfont[pos], if I remember right. But this time, it does not work. See the the output below. Interestingly, I get the same result both on MikTeX and on SuSE Linux 8.1. - pdftex.cfg is in place and contains a reference to pdftex.map - pdftex.map is in place and contains Times-Roman and associated fonts, but I can't see if this file is sourced - the big document I'll produce is typeset correctly using Computer Modern fonts - the test document (just one line, with no environment except the setupbodyfond command) makes trouble as well - the Times-Roman font as well as others work correctly in TeX and LaTeX I'd really be happy if someone has an idea. Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Chris.
