cmbtt is a metafont-only font. As Hans said: have a look at latin modern. If you really want cmbtt, you can use the pdftex primitive
\pdfpkresolution = 600
(for example) to specify a resolution.
Hello Taco, thank you, \pdfpkresolution works well!
Indeed, there is a dark lm-type-writer font, and with LaTeX, you get it automatically. Test-file: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \begin{document} \texttt{Normal and \textbf{bold Type-Writer}} \end{document}
not automatically, you have to ask for it: \usepackage{lmodern} and i guess that lmodern is not compatible with normal cmodern -)
But they are not so bold as the cmbtt ones. Anyway: how could the dark lmtt font be activated in ConTeXt and could this be included in the distribution?
by default, context loads the cmr fonts with design sizes, nowadays replaced by their latin modern alternative in order to be backward compatible (although one can dispute the neccessity of this) the dark etc variants are not used if you want them: \starttypescript [mono] [computer-modern] [size] \definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt] [tt] [bf=LMTypewriter-Dark sa 1, bs=LMTypewriter-DarkOblique sa 1] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext {\tt test \bf test \definedfont[MonoBold] test} \stoptext wil give it; however, easier is: \usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext {\tt test \bf test \definedfont[MonoBold] test} \stoptext this alternative used 10 pt as base and since we have hinting in latin modern, the results are ok \definetypeface [modern] [rm] [serif] [modern] [computer-modern] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \definetypeface [modern] [ss] [sans] [modern] [computer-modern] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \definetypeface [modern] [tt] [mono] [modern-cond] [computer-modern] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \definetypeface [modern] [mm] [math] [modern] [computer-modern] [encoding=\typescripttwo] will give give you condensed (modern-light will give you light) Hans Hans
