Yes and no... ConTeXt is looking for fonts with names that are totally unusual compared to the ordinary TeX (LaTeX) System. Most TeX systems (and I guess GW TeX as well) support psnfss, the postscript font system to be used with latex. That means, that you should have fonts named in a cryptic way "pplr8r.tfm" or such. ConTeXt on the other hand looks for fontnames like "8r-uplr8a.tfm". Almost no one has a font named like this on their system.
This kind of thing is just silly. The above named file is no more clearly named than the psnfss version, so what's the point? Anyway, I vote for your first name option for the mapping file: \usetypescript[psnfss] Make sure you send it to Gerben too, so he can get it in the installer sooner rather than later... Bruce
