Good evening.
I found some more puzzling things. I write them here fore anybody who may be interested. :-)
I tried to typeset a document using two font families: TrueType Gentium by SIL, and Adobe OpenType Myriad. First I converted Myriad to Type1 using fontforge, then I prepared metrics for all fonts with TeXFont using ec-lm encoding. I found this:
(1) Any ConTeXt document produced by pdfetex 1.40.1 (even this one: \setupoutput[pdf] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext makes my GhostScript (gs Ghostscript 8.15.3 under SuSE Linux 10.1) die with this error: **** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table. **** The file has been damaged. This may have been caused **** by a problem while converting or transfering the file. **** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data. ERROR: /undefined in /BXlevel etc.
There was a gs bug (#688787 /undefined in /BXlevel) for this error,
but in that case the pdf file really was corrupt although the user
said it worked with Adobe Reader.
I tried your first test on Fedora Core 5 with TL2007 (test inst iso
from 20070115) which also has a gs-8.15 version, and don't get an
error.
