Also, I only consider a type 1 font okay when it has both an afm and a pfb file and mkiv can handle that quite well (even beyond the regular tex encodings). Personally I need it for fonts that I have bought and don't want to buy again.
Same here, but I found it easier to convert my fonts to OpenType by loading them into fontforge and doing Save As... I still have a mystery regarding the type 1 fonts installed with GhostScript, though: \definetypeface [dingbats][ss][sans][dingbats][default] \starttext {\dingbats \uchar{39}{7}\uchar{39}{13}\uchar{39}{42}} \stoptext produces no visible output, yet... $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=dingbat* dingbats dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm dingbatsnormal dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm $ ls /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l* /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.pfb /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.pfm $ This is with minimals and LuaTeX on Ubuntu. Get info on the PDF in Okular shows no Type 1 fonts embedded. (Also, is uchar intended to be a documented feature?) mathew
