A font-embedding issue puzzles me. First I make a metapost figure that uses plain tex for the label, so it uses cmr10. Then I include it in a context document to get a .ps file. The problem is that the label shows up in Courier (which ghostscript uses when it cannot find the font, I think).
I get this all the time when I try to preview my mp figures in ghostview. I thought that this was because my system was misconfigured and never really bothered to go into the details.
Thanks for any suggestions! The reason I'm using dvi and ps is that arxiv.org cannot handle ConTeXt submissions directly. A workaround recommended by the arxiv.org maintainers is to submit document.ps with all the source files in a separate directory (but it won't let you submit document.pdf with all the source files, a behavior that the admins say is a bug or 'oddity' but not one that they'll fix soon).
Since they are not going to process the source, how about generating a pdf and then converting the pdf into ps. Aditya
