Gerben, Taco, OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type-tmf.dat. lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat lm $ Does it matter which of these I use? Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things: 1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point? 2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file? On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:17 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Where I am in the current directory with all of the source files. Compiling stops with a font problem:
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type- akb.tex)) kpathsea: Running mktextfm texnansi-uplr8a
It is the same problem I ran into when trying to compile the manuals from the subversion repository: you don't have the needed metric files on your system.
When I asked Hans, he said:
Just run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat"
and that worked fine after a little bit of joggling with the TEXMFMAIN variable: this variable needs to point to the texmf tree that contains the afm files for the fonts, and on my system (teTeX 3) that is TEXMFDIST, not TEXMFMAIN. The easiest fix was to manually edit type-tmf.dat
Greetings, Taco

Take the one in texmf.local. It should not make a lot of difference, but that one is the latest, and also it belongs to the ConTeXt you are running.

Not impossible, but I am not sure either. Perhaps the --trace switch can help as well. (I do not understand at all why this works for me, but not for you). Taco

Gerben, Taco, et al, OK. I have a completely up-to-date TeX installation (GWTeX on Tiger). Thanks for your help. My technique was to "Make Fat" each component, then burn them onto a disk, then replace my I-packages directory contents on my home computer with the packages on the burn disk. Then I did an install, include CM-super and Context updater. Context now works. This file: \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext Compiles and views fine. This file: \definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=texnansi] \definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold] \starttext \MySecondFont Hello, World! \stoptext Gives a headache. It compiles and views, but when viewing in Acrobat Professional, there are clearly ugly bitmapped fonts in the document (I also tried encoding=texnansi and \defaultencoding). Document properties reveal that I am using: F38 Type: Type 3 Encoding: Custom Actual Font: F38 Actual Font Type: Type 3 On the other hand, this file: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{charter} \begin{document} Hello, World! \end{document} Compiles and view fine and Acrobat Professional reports that I am using: CharterBT-Roman (Embedded Subset) Type: Type 1 Encoding: Custom And the output in Acrobat Professional looks good. Looks like a Type 1 font to me, not an ugly bitmap. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow or so, but then I'd like to try the texfont thingy again with type-tmf.dat and see if I can get Context to find the font and use it correctly. Waiting for advice. Thanks for everything today.

Hi, First off: at this point, you context installation is behaving as expected, so that's good! But there are still a few problems... The metric file bchb8r is not in tenansi encoding, it is in LaTeX's 8r encoding, an internal re-encoding that helps implement ec (T1). \note{In the Berry scheme, bchb8y.tfm would be in texnansi encoding, but that file doesn't exist.} Because you supply context with the wrong encoding, some accents will come out wrong, but besides that, this almost works. The only thing still missing is the map file for pdftex: \loadmapfile[8r-base.map] \definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=texnansi] \definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold] \starttext \MySecondFont Hello, World! \stoptext That should give you a nice Type1 font (but not in texnansi). Better is to use the ec encoded font in the first place: \loadmapfile[ec-base.map] \loadmapfile[8r-base.map] \definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=ec] \definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold] \starttext \MySecondFont Hello, World! \stoptext \note{you still have to load 8r-base.enc, because ec is a virtual font encoding.} All of this is unrelated to whether or not texfont works. Cheers, Taco \note{some of this I did not realise yesterday, it's been a learning experience for me as well}

Does it matter which of these I use?
If you uninstall the ConTeXt updater, the one in texmf.local is uninstalled and you get the one in texmf.tetex. Note that that one is almost a year old.
Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things:
1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point?
Please do not go this route. If you really want to, read /usr/local/ teTeX/texmf.cnf and find out that TEXMFDIST does not exist in my setup. My setup does not mimick TeX Live here and the ConTeXt tools seem to be expecting TeX Live.
2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file?
I would advise against doing this just to compile the manuals. Wait until ConTeXt is fixed. G
