Re: [NTG-context] how to use Times Roman font
On 2005-03-20 and 2005-03-21 there was a thread on this list about using the Times Roman font under the CONTEXT distribution for Windows. I'm running into similar problems (also with the Bookman and Lucida bright fonts) and I am curious whether the problem was solved and how. Sytse Knypstra

probably a map file problem (make sure that your local cont-sys.tex file is up-to-date i.e. compare it to cont-sys.rme) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear ConTeXt users, Last Friday I installed the minimal ConTeXt under Windows XP and tried also to make the lucida bright font available. I carried out the following recipe: 1. Download the latest mswintex.zip from Pragma 2. Unzip into C:\ (all files and directories are now under C:\tex) 3. Start a CMD shell and run the commands: > cd c:\tex > setuptex.bat > mktexlsr > texexec --make --alone nl en metafun 4. Copy all 139 lucida related .afm and .pfb files to c:\temp 5. From this directory run: > texfont --fontroot=c:/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy --co=lbr --ma --in 6. Add \loadmapfile[context-base] to cont-sys.tex In TeXnicCenter I edited test files and ran the command c:\tex\setuptex.bat & texexec with the arguments --bat --nonstop --pdf --color "%bm" All went well and a test file using e.g. the bookman font produced the desired result. But trying to use the lucida bright font gave the error: ! Font \*lucida6ptmmmi*:=lbmo at 6.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not foud. The error occurred after the following three lines: \loadmapfile[texnansi-yandy-lbr.map] \gebruiktypescript[lucida][texnansi] \switchtotypeface[lucida][11pt] Any help is highly appreciated.

Hai Sytse, It looks like your new installation is conflicting with the old (pre-texfont / pre-typescripts) support for Lucida Bright. type-buy.tex in the ConTeXt distribution already contains a typescript named "lucida", and that typescript maps straight to "lbmo.tfm", but TeXfont probably created "texnansi-lbmo.tfm" and a new typescript called "lbr" that uses those metrics. So I guess you should try \usetypescript[lbr][texnansi] \switchtobodyfont[lbr,11pt] instead of
\gebruiktypescript[lucida][texnansi] \switchtotypeface[lucida][11pt]
and see where that leads you. Succes, Taco
Thank you, Taco, now it works ok. Sytse Taco Hoekwater wrote:
