With the last release of context the problem of not getting cm fonts is over. These are now found. However, other font selections bring new difficulties. I tried various combinations but did not succeed. The simple program (using TeXShop): \starttext \setupbodyfont[tim,12pt] hello world \stoptext Fails and aborts with: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) ConTeXt ver: 2005.11.11 fmt: 2005.11.13 int: english mes: english .... ! Font \*times12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. Changing into \usetypescript[phv]\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt] ! Font \*postscript12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. No help from enabling in cont-sys.tex of: \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] (updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts) then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like: Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file If I use \setupbodyfont[lbr,12pt] then I get just lm-roman, although I have the YandY lucida fonts installed with their original YandY names (lb--.pfb) Here no help from changing between texnansi and ec default encoding. Any idea whats amiss? I ran this on a teTeX3 install with the context files unzipped into texmf-local. (I must confess I am tempted to give up on ConTeXt altogether, because of these many font troubles.) Hans van der Meer
