Now I have problems with the default fonts. That is, when trying to use good old Computer Modern fonts (which are the default but called "Latin Modern", or?) then umlauts, bold face etc. don't work. Also, when MetaFont renders math symbols they become pixelized and don't scale.
context is using latin moden by default now and what you observe is a mismatch in names due to the fact that aroun dthe time that tex live and tetex got frozen, a new release of latin modern took place (by now, latin modern is rather stable; version 1.0 was released at bachotek); because context was an early adopter (well, someone had to do the testing -) its users pay the price ... (btw, you may expect similar 'need to update' situations when new lminized fonts show up [soon we can expect the first test files])
Probably this is not surprising, since I get a lot of lines like this (the full texexec output is at the end of this mail):
Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/ dvipdfm/context/original-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmex8': font file missing
hm, this is due to the fact that context finds the dvipdfmx map files first [maybe it's time to get rid of map files altogether and switch to maplines]; either delete the files from the dvipdfmx pathm, or adapt yout texmf.cnf file this is what it should be TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfm = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfmx = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{xetex,pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.dvips = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvips,pdftex,}// TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}// but i'm not so sure if tetex does it this way Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
