Did you read the thread "font encodings (glyph lossed..."? As you see, we have some problems with TrueType fonts. My font package from this morning is better than the old one, but still lacks at least the 'dcroat' letter.
But your problem is another kind. I'd suggest to start over and use the latest Gentium distribution (1.02), but so far:
Now, that is what I am doing.
What Gentium files do you have in your fonts tree? Which vendor/ collection names did you use? (sil/gentium?) - AFMs (not needed) - TTFs (texmf/fonts/truetype/sil/gentium/*.ttf) - TFMs (texmf/fonts/tfm/sil/gentium/*.tfm) - MAPs (texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-sil-gentium.map)
I have all the files, and again, I tried to do the wiki's suggestions. Now, whenever I compile the test file, I get an error in Acrobat saying "Cannot find font in Resources, using Helvetica instead".
Did you rename all files to lowercase (and without spaces)? ConTeXt sometimes has problems if file names use uppercase letters.
I have done this, and I believe that this helped.
There should be ec-genr101.tfm and .ttf in your case, that's what TeX is looking for.
Yes, I have the 102 ones.
If the TFM is found, you'll run in the next problem: Probably in the .map file there's '.pfb' instead of '.ttf'
No, that seems all right.
I always need to run texhash with root permissions ('sudo texhash'), otherwise the database cannot be written.
I also run it with root permission. Thanks for your patient responses. If you think you can suggest anything further, please do so; though I am on the verge of giving up... BTW, it might help if you know that I am using tetex-3.0 on Debian GNU/Linux. Thanks again. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 462, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036
