Yes, it it normal. I recommend you to use \preloadtypescripts at start of every TeX file - this significantly speeds up the typescript loading. -Richard _____ From: John R.

this is normal, since type-* files are not preloaded (unless you say: \preloadtypescripts which you can do in cont-sys.tex. If you have enough mem this will save you some runtime

this is not normal and point to an error in you rstyle

this is ok, context loads mapfiles at runtime (a few pdftex versions ago this was the only way to handle many fonts since loading the big map file pdftex.map was quite inefficient esp with thousands of entries), nowadays i prefer this method because (1) we need proper support for commercial (add-on) fonts and (2) it's cleaner and (3) what you load is what you get

this is normal, since type-* files are not preloaded (unless you say:
\preloadtypescripts
OK but this raises another question. Why does it preload the same scripts over and over again? A close examination of the above list shows considerable repetition. There are 8 files reloaded five times each (I think.) I will go for \preloadtypescripts as you suggest. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
