Oh damned. The adobekb file does not exist on your system and ConTeXt doesn't feel like giving an error message :-( install http://levana.de/context/font/adobekb.tex into your homedir/TeX system.

Hmm, shouldn't \usetypescript[adobekb][..] be enough to load the file?

Sure! We have a problem with something archaeological: ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2004.5.28 int: english mes: english So "skhilji@tampabay.rr.com" should report again.

Still no luck!!! :-(
Okay, so I got really upset with teTeX so I decided to get rid of it. Earlier
I said that I was using Fedora Core 2. Now I am sitting on a SuSE 8.0 Pro
machine. I did the following:
1) Uninstalled whatever TeX came with SuSE
2) Downloaded and installed from texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso
3) I chose not to install latex. Just context and pdftex alongwith whatever
texlive said about anything being "essential files"
4) Next I wiped off whatever ConTeXt came with texlive and followed
instructions on this page:
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html
to install the latest ConTeXt from pragma website.
5) Then I found that adobekb.tex was still NOT installed on my system---yes
the latest ConTeXt from pragma-ade still does not have adobekb.tex. But as
Hans suggested, I do have the file type-akb.tex. As Patrick suggested, I
downloaded and installed adobekb.tex in the TeX tree.
6) So after all this, I try both type-akb and adobekb and the palatino font
still refuses to cooperate.
Here are the errors that I am getting:
With this:
\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec] %
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

I found out that while trying to install the latest ConTeXt over whatever came
with texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso, I screwed up somewhere and ConTeXt would
not even generate me a pdf file with cmr fonts.
So here is what I did.
1) I deleted everything about TeX from my system
2) Installed TeXLive from the iso with default options. I did not change
anything. Just accepted the defaults.
3) I did not install the latest ConTeXt. I think I will be fine with whatever
comes with TeXLive as of Sept, 2003.
4) Now I can generate a hello world pdf file with cmr fonts just fine.
5) Yes, I do have the type-akb.tex on my system.

Hi,
Here is the essence of your problem:

You don't have the proper font files in place to use the postscript typescripts as they come in the default ConText. For what it is worth, neither did the Slackware 9.1 distribution that I have.
If this is a recent TeX, then it has all necessary files for using postscript fonts out of the box. Just install psnfss and use the magic I have written elsewhere in this thread. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net
Okay. Problem solved. The thing is that I did not ask the texlive distribution to install the extra fonts package. The palatino fonts were part of the extra fonts. Now I have another question. It seems like \setupbodyfont[palatino] produces different results than \setupbodyfont[ppl]. The former tries to use palatino in all the variations in the following example. The palatino fonts seems to be missing the serif variant, so the \ss and the normal lines look the same---i.e ConTeXt decided to use the same roman variant for both the \rm and the \ss line. Even the equation uses some sort of postscript font that I am not familiar with. The latter---\setupbodyfont[ppl]---is not very forceful---it uses palatino in the \rm, \em, and \sl lines. Everywhere else the CMR font is used. What causes this behavior? \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \setupbodyfont[palatino] %\setupbodyfont[ppl] \starttext {\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} {\em The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} {\sl The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} {\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} {\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} {\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890} $$1+\sqrt{x^2}+\sum dx$$ \stoptext
Hello,
Okay. Problem solved. The thing is that I did not ask the texlive distribution to install the extra fonts package. The palatino fonts were part of the extra fonts.
Right, I did aks you if you have psnfss installed? Hmm, perhaps I forgot, because I think that everybody has it installed...
The former tries to use palatino in all the variations in the following example. The palatino fonts seems to be missing the serif variant,
I guess you mean sans serif? Yes, there is no such thing as Palatino sans serif.
Even the equation uses some sort of postscript font that I am not familiar with.
px I'd guess.
the \rm, \em, and \sl lines. Everywhere else the CMR font is used.
Well, not really cmr, but cmss, cmtt and math.
What causes this behavior?
see type-pre.tex type-exa.tex and type-enc.tex for definitions on those typescripts. They are just different typescripts. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net

an alternative is: mkdir /usr/local/mytex cd /usr/local/mytex wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/contextt/linuxtex.zip.bz2 bunzip2 linuxtex.zip.bz2 unzip linuxtex chmod -R 755 . setuptex /usr/local/mytex mktexlsr texexec --make --alone --all every time after that . /usr/local/setuptex /usr/local/setuptex should give you a minimal context tree (i develop on a windows machine, so that is the tree we use on the linux application servers) (take a look at cont-sys.tex to see how we set up our context) (there is also mswintex.zip.bz2 and macosxtex.zip.bz2) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
