Then we must have different texfont.pl version. Each time afm2tfm is called, it uses either -T or -p. Running afm2tfm without those parameters doesn't make very much sense. (Unless you are an english speaking person that never typesets foreign languages.)
Accoding to http://source.contextgarden.net/scripts/context/perl/texfont.pl, I'm afraid you are wrong, the string "-p" only occured 3 times in this file, the first time for 'otfinfo', the second time for 'afm2tfm' and the third time for 'afm2pl'. So the official copy of this script still use -p option for afm2tfm once. Jjgod.

There are in total 4 calls to aftm2tfm in the script, of which the second and third use '-p' also (check the value of $encstr). The last one is a 'panic response' if nothing else seems appropriate. Taco

Well, let's search the script from top to bottom: 1. { my $command = "afm2tfm \"$file\" -p texnansi.enc texfont.tfm" It's a real call to afm2tfm, with -p. 2, 3: (deleted inrelevant code, reindented to show the structure) if ($afmpl) { ... $encstr = " -p $encfil" ; my $command = "afm2pl -f afm2tfm $shape $passon $encstr ... my $ok = `$command` ; ... } else { ... my $command = "afm2tfm $file $shape $passon $encstr ... Please notice 2 thing: 1. afm2pl does NOT invoke afm2tfm, even with "-f afm2tfm" option (you can check this in the source code of afm2pl by yourself) 2. $encstr in the first {} block does NOT affect the $encstr in the second {} block, poor indention in this code may give you a wrong idea. So, there is just one call here, without -p. 4. my $command = "afm2tfm $file $cleanname.tfm" ; Obviously, no -p. To summarize above, 3 calls to afm2tfm total, 1 call with -p only. jjgod.

You are right, sorry. So only three calls to afm2tfm in total. Is there an afm2pl executable in miktex, btw? That would nicely solve the problem.
2. $encstr in the first {} block does NOT affect the $encstr in the second {} block, poor indention in this code may give you a wrong idea.
At this point in the code, $encstr usually has a "-T ..." value (which implies -p as well, as Patrick tried to explain before).
So, there is just one call here, without -p.
4. my $command = "afm2tfm $file $cleanname.tfm" ; Obviously, no -p.
This is the 'panic' call I thought was #4, it is only executed when you explicitly call texfont with the (hidden) switch --expert.
To summarize above, 3 calls to afm2tfm total, 1 call with -p only.
True, but the second call normally has a "-T" in it, and the third call is only for people that believe they are "smarter than Hans". Anyway, this is all just silly. There is a bug in afm2tfm in miktex, period. Taco
Hi,
Then we must have different texfont.pl version. Each time afm2tfm is called, it uses either -T or -p. Running afm2tfm without those parameters doesn't make very much sense. (Unless you are an english speaking person that never typesets foreign languages.)
Accoding to http://source.contextgarden.net/scripts/context/perl/texfont.pl, I'm afraid you are wrong, the string "-p" only occured 3 times in this file,
You don't have to be afraid. Let us stop this discussion now. Those who know texfont.pl know that it should use the switches it uses and there will not be any change in this respect on the texfont.pl side. Just believe us that the encoding switches are vital. I have recently reeimplemented afm2tfm and I think that I know what I am talking about. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

I'm sorry for bother you guys about all these trival problems, but my situation is that I'm trying to use ConTeXt under Win32, then I found many things not so ideal like they're under Linux. Just list another one, font files received from the vendor is usually in capital letters, such as PJN_____.PFB, but the copy_files routine in texfont.pl only copy *.pfb, then all the type1 files will not be copy to texmf... Regards, jjgod.

This, of course, is a problem that should be addressed. But I always thought that windows doesn't care about case when globbing. But I don't have access to a windows machine, so I can't try it out. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
