Hi,
I'm having problems with Palatino sans serif in my documents.
Consider the following small file:
\usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
\starttext \ss Hello world!
{\tfa\ss tfa} {\tfb\ss tfb} {\tfc\ss tfc} {\tfd\ss tfd}
\stoptext
On live.contextgarden.net this renders correctly, with sans serif text and appropriate character sizes.
On my local system, though, all the text is serif and at the same size. There is no size variation with \tfa, \tfb, etc. If I remove all the \ss commands then the sizing works again.
I just tried your example; \ss works here just fine.
I'm using MacTeX 2008. Here are my version strings from texexec:
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7) ConTeXt ver: 2008.04.11 00:07 MKII fmt: 2008.10.11 int: english/ english
What is wrong with my installation (or my document)?
Your ConTeXt is ancient. Try updating to the latest current version or beta. My beta is ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.12 22:46 MKII The latest beta should be safe since mkii is pretty much fixed, if not frozen.
