Hi Hans,
after a lot of experiments I could generate a PDF document where the
built-in Helvetica font is used. Yet, there are some open questions:
1. The \loadmapfile makro seems not to work. I tried lots of variants.
Only direct use of the pdfTex makro \pdfmapfile was successful.
2. In the praeambel I specify the enconding to be "ec". Yet, in the map
file I had to define a mapping for an 8r encoded font!
3. Texexec shows some warnings during the run. Maybe they are related to
the second question. The warnings are:
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-courier.map): cannot open font map file
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file
Can you please have a short look on these questions?
Best regards,
--Stefan
Here is my test document:
\enableregime[il1]
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[adobekb][ec]
\usetypescript[postscript][ec]
\setupbodyfont[postscript,sans,12pt]
\mainlanguage[de]
\setupheadertexts[]
\pdfoptionpdfminorversion 4
\starttext
\pdfmapfile{=embed.map}%
This is a test.
\stoptext
And here is the map file embed.map:
%phvb8t Helvetica-Bold "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont"
