Hi,
I'm having problems with Palatino sans serif in my documents.
Consider the following small file:
\usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
\starttext \ss Hello world!
{\tfa\ss tfa} {\tfb\ss tfb} {\tfc\ss tfc} {\tfd\ss tfd}
\stoptext
On live.contextgarden.net this renders correctly, with sans serif text and appropriate character sizes.
On my local system, though, all the text is serif and at the same size. There is no size variation with \tfa, \tfb, etc. If I remove all the \ss commands then the sizing works again.
I'm using MacTeX 2008. Here are my version strings from texexec:
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7) ConTeXt ver: 2008.04.11 00:07 MKII fmt: 2008.10.11 int: english/ english
What is wrong with my installation (or my document)?
I don't know the cure. The same thing happens to me with or without \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]. I have noticed that a map file that is present in TeX Liven 2007 is missing in TeX Live 2008 (also using MacTeX with some random version of ConTeXt). ss is not defined for Palatino. But what's also really annoying and might be connected - all my accented letters written in palatino (URWPalladio) are gone (š is ok, č looses accent, ž disappears, fi ligatures turn into some weird accents ...) when I post-process the document with Adobe Acrobat in order to reduce document size by downsampling photos. I tried to switch to TeXGyre, but then all the line/page breaks are broken. I need to lock my computer from me for a week. Maybe it will obey me better after it takes some break :) :) :) Maybe fixing a problem with map files might help, but I cannot think right now. Mojca
