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
that is when you use texfont generated metrics texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tfm.dat will generate those metrics (which are the ones i use)
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.
lucida is a special case -) because i used lucida a lot, those definitions ended up in the core, but when i bought more and more fonts, i finally decided to move the lucida defs to the type-buy.tex typescript because that;s where they belong you can add the line: \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] to the cont-sys.tex file, but best is (because it's a document property) to say in you document (or style): \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % loads commercial font definitions \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] % defines a lucida typeface \setupbodyfont[lucida,12pt] % enables the typeface defined as 'lucida' (see type-buy.tex) so, basically, the 'lbr' choice is gone the same is true for 'pos'; which originally was meant for the fonts that adobe shipped (but no longer does); over time it became for instance \usetypescript[postscript][ec] % times, helvetica, courier, tx math; properly r-scaled or in components \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] in principle the \usetypescript [adobekb] [ec] % depending on what is in use, if in doubt use [all] should work; (keep in mind that in spite of all kind of references in tex environments to encodings, often only ec is shipped)
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.)
well, latin modern is kind of special for a while (because it involves some major changes in distributions as well) but that will stabelize (only new fonts will be added to the latin modern family; context for instance does support teh condensed monospaced already) concerning distributions: because of changes in map, enc, whatever, i don't use updmap (i have way more fonts on my machine than present in distributed map files) how old is your cont-sys.tex? take a look at cont-sys.rme and see what has changed (keep in mind that pdftex occasionally changes and we need to keep up with that as well) [once a generic map file model is in place - which is on the agenda for pdftex cum suis] live may become more easy Hans
