Hello All!
I'm fresh ConTeXt user, trying to move from LaTeX. And I have several
problems with fonts in ConTeXt 2005.06.07 (teTeX-3.0).
First of all: pscyr. It's a cyrillic type1 font package which works
perfectly in LaTeX, but in Plain TeX and ConTeXt whitespaces between
words disappear.
My input files:
Test font.
\font\myfont=fcori6a
\myfont
Test of font. Some text to test it.
\bye
and ConTeXt:
\mainlanguage[ru]
\useregime[cyr]
\enableregime[koi8-r]
\definefontsynonym[somefont][fcori6a][encoding=t2a]
\definefont[myfont][somefont]
\starttext
Test of text.
\myfont
Test of PSCyr text.
\stoptext
What I'm doing wrong?

I can't find any LaTeX package on CTAN except as a BaKoMa install package, and my system teTeX does not have 'fcori6a.tfm'. Under those circumstances, it becomes quite hard to help you with your problem. There may be a clue buried in the latex support macros ? Taco

Well, I've already looked at this. AFAIK no magic there:
from tex/latex/pscyr/pscyr.sty:
\def\codefault{fco}
\DeclareRobustCommand\cofamily
{\not@math@alphabet\rmfamily\mathrm
\fontfamily\codefault\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textco}{\cofamily}
there is also definition of bold math mode and
\renewcommand{\hbar}{{\mathchar'26\mkern-8.5muh}}
from tex/latex/pscyr/t2afco.fd:
\DeclareFontFamily{T2A}{fco}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T2A}{fco}{m}{it}{<-> fcori6t}{}
from fonts/map/dvips/pscyr/pscyr.map:
fcori6a CollegePSCyr-Italic "T2AEncoding ReEncodeFont"

So you should use fcori6t in ConTeXt as well. You are using the wrong metrics, and that is the cause of the disappearing space.
Encoding file fonts/enc/dvips/pscyr/t2a.enc, but pdftex ignores ReEncodeFont, as stated in documentation.
Pdftx does do the actual re-encoding, it just ignores the supplied string value. Taco

Oh, thank you, I see it now. But how font filename and basename is resolved from map file if tfm in source and in map file differ? If LaTeX uses *6t for T2A encoding, but in map file there is only *6a, how it works? I've reread the docs, but this moment remains unclear. The *6t tfm's works as expected, I'm just trying to understand what all this files doing.

Yes, I figured it out from experiments.

This is because of virtual fonts: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=virtualfonts Taco

Thanks, this explains the situation. Is there a command to trace font
loading? Which files are loaded, etc.

Nothing that would help you understand it better, I'm afraid. There is a way to trace file opne/file close in the search library, but you have to be an expert to understand the output of that I'm afraid. Taco

Thank you for the explanation. Now I make typescript file for the
package and have some problems with math, but I will try to get through
this myself.
