It should work out ok if you change the map file line to either:

cmr12 LMRoman12-Regular

This didn't work.

...

or

cmr12 CMR12

This worked. Now, things are quite all right, except that I am still unhappy with the rendering in Acrobat. But at least the things seem to be mostly solved with this one.

Thanks for all the help, but one final question before I give up!

IF I use pdflatex, this is the header of a PS file I get upon doing dvips:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.95b Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software %%Title: myfile.dvi %%Pages: 1 %%PageOrder: Ascend %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842 %%DocumentFonts: CMR17 CMR12 CMBX12 CMR10 CMMI12 CMEX10 CMSY8 CMMI8 CMR8 %%+ MSBM10 CMR7 CMBX10 so, latex does not use lm at all here

However, for ConTeXt, the output I get is:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.95b Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software %%Title: test.dvi %%Pages: 1 %%PageOrder: Ascend %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842 %%DocumentFonts: LMRoman12-Regular CMR12 LMMathItalic9-Italic %%+ LMMathItalic12-Italic LMMathSymbols10-Italic

the one CMR12 comes from an embedded graphic; why not use LM in that graphic?

Now, is there any way to force the fonts to map on to the old CMR names? That is because I feel it is because of the CMR/lmodern issue that pdflatex generated PDFs appear properly, while ConTeXt ones don't. What should the map file look like?

if you use tex encoding you could make a map file mapping them, but otherwise ...

Also, please find the Debian default map file here:

http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~ee03b091/original-public-lm.map.gz

Thanks for bearing with me. I want to try my best before giving up, failing which I will be forced to return to teTeX (with the old ConTeXt) and miss out on some new ConTeXt niceties, such as \startalign etc.
