Hi Guys,
Just had sometime to update to texlive 2007 from the DVD that was on the shelf for quite some time.
But as usual, the default postscript fonts don't work.
Since I gave away my NeXT system, I no longer have Adobe fonts. Linux has (some version of) the URW fonts, so that is what I use. Most of the font support in TL is for LaTeX. ConTeXt started out using plain tex mechanism and then took a different approach. Look for mfont.pdf on the ConTeXt site (I don't see it in TeX Live). It explains how to generate the missing map files as well as the typescript. You might look into XeTeX and (eventually) luatex, which are supposed to make it easier to use system fonts.
Setup: default texlive 2007. No cont-sys.tex. I used updmap --edit to change LW35 to ADOBEkb.
Here my test file:
================================================== \setupbodyfont [postscript,11pt]
Try just "[pos,11pt]". I get: (using the MKiV context with the svn version of
TL, so your results may not be quite the same, but this stuff shouldn't have
changed much.
