I found out that while trying to install the latest ConTeXt over whatever came
with texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso, I screwed up somewhere and ConTeXt would
not even generate me a pdf file with cmr fonts.
So here is what I did.
1) I deleted everything about TeX from my system
2) Installed TeXLive from the iso with default options. I did not change
anything. Just accepted the defaults.
3) I did not install the latest ConTeXt. I think I will be fine with whatever
comes with TeXLive as of Sept, 2003.
4) Now I can generate a hello world pdf file with cmr fonts just fine.
5) Yes, I do have the type-akb.tex on my system.
6) On the following:
\usetypescriptfile[type-akb]
\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]
\starttext
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
\stoptext
I get the following errors:
