Yes, it's quite possible. I don't have the fonts to test, but a few possible relevant remarks: 1.) Try not to use that typescript and check if it still breaks 2.) Even if your typescripts are broken, there must be a bug somewhere: luatex should not hang even if you feed it with junk; even if you fix the typescripts, try to find the reason for that behaviour 3.) You use Lucida math; I would be surprised if it still works (I would bet it doesn't, but I might be wrong.) 4.) It seems that the run breaks in type-psc (not 100% sure) 5.) [encoding=8r] ??? That's not even supposed to work in MKIV (unless I'm wrong). Usually it gets ignored (and luatex just reads afm and pfb files), but I'm not sure how exactly tfm reading works (if it works at all inside typescripts). 6.) If you don't like TeX Gyre and think that using the old PostScript fonts are still needed, it might make sense to revise your typescript and make an optional officially unsupported (but public) typescript that others could use as well (not sure if that would mean including it in core or not).

Thanks Mojca for your answer and suggestion. There surely is something with my typescripts that makes them happy under mkii and very unhappy under mkiv. Switching them out of the way at least brings typesetting in LM back. However, I am attached to my use of Lucida and Mathtimes (both from Y&Y) and I would very much like to continue using them. Do you have a pointer with what to start? Would you give changing texnansi for 8r a good chance, for a first try? Or is more heavy surgery on my typefiles needed? I was never very good with typefiles and I fear very much I can start over all again for mkiv. For the regular postscript fonts like NewCenturySchoolbook etc. I will we be happy to use the TeX Gyre files for these. I guess they are already somewhere in my system. Would you please point me to a relevant starting point for the necessary incantations? For some dark reason I always seem to get lost when searching the ContextWiki for a specific topic.

MKIV has undergone *heavy* changes recently, and fonts were one of the area that has been influenced a lot. You should not expect your old typescripts to work with MKIV without modifications.
Switching them out of the way at least brings typesetting in LM back. However, I am attached to my use of Lucida and Mathtimes (both from Y&Y) and I would very much like to continue using them. Do you have a pointer with what to start?
Math definitions are a bit non-trivial and might be a subject to change. I thought Hans was using Lucida extensively, at least all of his manuals are typeset in lucida, so you have a slightly better chance to get it done. I'll stop responding about math at this point since I don't know enough and I should not invest time into it right now.
Would you give changing texnansi for 8r a good chance, for a first try? Or is more heavy surgery on my typefiles needed?
It's best if Hans answers about the preferred way to use the old tfm fonts with ConTeXt. But for math it definitely means heavy surgery. Not even times and palatino are working properly as far as I know. You may take a look at type-otf.mkiv and type-vfu. One needs to create a table of glyphs. I fear that Lucida has them at non-standard slots. I would gladly help with lucida, but I may not right now.
I was never very good with typefiles and I fear very much I can start over all again for mkiv.
:) ... and I fear you are right. Well, you might need some help to get Lucida done. Since you are happy with TeX Gyre, most fonts that kept causing you problem are already covered, right?
For the regular postscript fonts like NewCenturySchoolbook etc.
\usetypescript[schola] \setupbodyfont[schola] or \usetypescript[schoolbook] \setupbodyfont[schoolbook] But ... what matching math font were you usually using?
I will we be happy to use the TeX Gyre files for these. I guess they are already somewhere in my system.
You probably have texgyreschola-regular.otf etc. if you either have TL 2008/09 or ConTeXt minimals.
Would you please point me to a relevant starting point for the necessary incantations?
Hmmmm .... http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX_Gyre, but the best reference is usually type-xxx.mkiv/tex.
For some dark reason I always seem to get lost when searching the ContextWiki for a specific topic.
That might not necessary be your problem :) Wiki is not in the best shape, but ... Mojca

Wolfgang had made typescripts of lucida math. I don't remember where he uploaded them. Aditya

This information is new to me, I wrote typescripts for the text fonts but not for math.
Sorry, I got confused. Maybe if I don't work on the math typescripts long enough, you will eventually write the math typescripts also :) Aditya

I planned to write the tables for math-vfu but wasn't in the right mood until now. Maybe I will take then also a look at the mathdesign fonts too (if nobody else is interested). Wolfgang

i did use lucida when it was still shipped in the original yandy encodings bit nowadays it's shipped in encodings that target latex if i need lucida i'll look into it again Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
