Has anyone been able to use the standard PDF postscript fonts with context? I recently upgraded to tetex 2.0, latest context, so had to restart with the font stuff. 1. After tinkering I could get the URW stuff working, but I want the Adobe. I have the same problem, but I couldn't find the right solution and URW fonts doesn't work too.

OK, what to do:

1. Run texfont on context/data/type-tmf.dat like this:

texfont --encoding=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/share/texmf --batch type-tmf.dat

That should produce the right .tmf files.

2. In your cont-sys.tex (/usr/local/texmf/tex/context/cont-sys.tex) have only the following:

==================== % This seems to be Hans preferred encoding \setupencoding[\s!default=texnansi] ====================

No other \usesetypescript, or \setupencoding should be present.

3. If you run this test file:

==================== \setupbodyfont [pos,10pt]

\starttext

hello world.

{\ss hello again!}

{\tt the end.}

\stoptext ====================

Since a complete teTeX installation should include the LaTeX PSNFSS package you don't need to generate the fonts (TFMs) yourself. Simply ==================== \usetypescript[berry][ec] \setupbodyfont [pos,10pt] \starttext hello world. {\ss hello again!} {\tt the end.} \stoptext ==================== should work. This will use T1 (aka ec) encoded fonts not the standard LY1 (aka texnansi) encoding. Therefore you have to setup the proper input regime (\enableregime) Jens
