Hans, Frustrating and I agree. So, perhaps the way to go is through trouble shooting advice in the manuals. This advice should take the form of "If you see this, then do this..." The difficulty, at least for me, is the fact that I don't understand the sequence of engines that are brought to bear when compiling. When compiling stops with an error with "this not found" or "that not found," I have no clue on how to fix it. On the other hand, you and other gurus see such a message and you seem to say "oh, such and such is missing." Maybe a manual like mfonts.tex should spend a significant amount of space addressing these trouble shooting techniques. On Nov 28, 2005, at 7:55 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hans, I did, but I'll try again:
well, the log says: Warning: pdfetex (file texnansi-iwona.map): cannot open font map file
and i took a look at the latest zip and there they use
iwona-*.map
names instead of
*-iwona.map
so ... another uncommunicated change in names
i slowly come to the conclusion that
(1) we should forget about being early adopters (or not adopt at all) (2) distributions will become more and more instable (3) if things go on this way, tex will not survive (4) it's time we start making our own repository and distribution
i simply don't have the time to keep up with all those changes; it looks like the policy of today is "wipe out and start new" which also means "never buy a font" and "don't install your own stuff" etc
(there is no way to determine such changes unless we load every map file available which is something i don't want to do at all because it's the cause of even more trouble)
sudo texhash
And got this response:
Password: texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/ls-R... texhash: Updating /var/tmp/texfonts/ls-R... texhash: Done.
Mktexlsr seems to do the same thing:
011-101:~/tmp davidarnold$ sudo mktexlsr mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/tmp/texfonts/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done.
Then:
011-101:~/tmp davidarnold$ cat junk.tex
\definetypeface[david][rm][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] %\definetypeface[david][mm][math][iwona][default]
\setupbodyfont[david,ss,10pt]
\starttext This should work. \stoptext
And, no luck. Log file attached.

1. Do I have to also do an updmap or enable or some such thing?
no, context loads the files needed at runtime
2. I note that on my office system, /usr/local/teTeX is owned by root:wheel. But done in my fonts directory, some files are owned by darnolddarn:admind and some by root:admin. Could this be a problem?
did you run a mktexlsr ? (otherwise tex cannot find the files)
