Many thanks, \enableregime did what I needed. But I still have some minor questions: 1) Where should I put \loadmapfile[psclean.map]? (I can't include it in pdftex.cnf, since there is none under my new teTeX 3.0 in SuSE.) 2) Is it a goold idea to place in the same file \enableregime[il2] if almost all my documents are typed in this encoding? 3) What is the native ConTeXt font encoding? If I use many different fonts (most being reencoded via virtual fonts into IL2 encoding), should I reencode them into the native ConTeXt font encoding (whatever it is), or can I make ConTeXt work with a different font encoding, perhaps different for different fonts? How? How? 4) What documentations for fonts in ConTeXt should I read, and in what order? And I have one (I hope) little plea to Mr. Hagen: Please, can you add MetaFont to your minimum TeX installation? I would like to use it instead of teTeX because it is more flexible. But I still use heavily some MetaFont bitmapped fonts. Many thanks anyway. Your thankful Michal Kvasnicka

For standard fonts you do not need to include any map file. If you really need to incorporate something to format, put it to cont-(cz|en).tex or look to the context.tex.
2) Is it a goold idea to place in the same file \enableregime[il2] if almost all my documents are typed in this encoding?
My Czech setup for: format: cont-en input regime: il2 font|hyphenation encoding: ec \enableregime[il2] \mainlanguage[cz] \loadmapfile[lm.map]

IFAIK there is no native font encoding since ConTeXt tries to maintain many languages with different hyphenation patterns needed to encode. Czech hyphenation pattern for Czech language is in ec encoding in cont-en format.

Try to look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net Vit P.S. Czech support in ConTeXt is far from optimal; after I will finnish the real big publication I will summarize it. No time for that now I am a month late.
