Good question. I'll throw it open to the list: Metrics for the urw clone 35 used to be commonly found everywhere. Where have they gone? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Hi Adam,
Good question. I'll throw it open to the list: Metrics for the urw clone 35 used to be commonly found everywhere. Where have they gone?
Do you have psnfss for LaTeX installed? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
Hello Patrick, I have installed the complete miktex distribution. I think it should be includedd there. Wolfgang Patrick Gundlach wrote:

I guess I don't. gwTeX doesn't seem to throw it in there. (I reinstalled prompted by your earlier Q.) So where (e.g., on CTAN) would you point this person to? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Good question, I just looked at CTAN. The sources are in fonts/psfonts/psnfss-source, but have to be generated by a makefile, wich needs some modification on my linux box. Would it make sense to create the metrics and put the online? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
I got some info from the miktex forum: the font: uplr8t is a replacement for the adobe font. The Adobe font is called pplr8t.tfm So I still not for sure where the error comes from - false font names - missing font names What do you think? Wolfgang Patrick Gundlach wrote:

Hello Wolfgang,

So I still not for sure where the error comes from - false font names - missing font names
What do you think?
Well, I am out of sync with the problem. Did you try the things on the wiki? What error messages do you get? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

one time they were under urw, then under urw35, now back under urw if i'm right 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
with miktex there is a path C:\texmf\fonts\tfm\urw with some subfolders, but all of them are empty. For example Helvetica is located C:\texmf\fonts\tfm\adobe\helvetic and all files starting with "p". I think that was the problem with selecting fonts on my system. Wolfgang Hans Hagen wrote:

Sigh. me too. This is a recent change in my distro, I think. try adding this line: \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] This causes the mapping from ec-uplr8a: \starttypescript [adobekb] [ec] \definefontsynonym [ec-uplr8a] [pplr8t] [encoding=ec] ...which you should have on your system.

Well, my head *is* in TeXLive mode. But TL 2003 (home). On garden I use current tetex (garden). Both work fine with the adobekb typescript. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

Yeah, it was TL2003, I think, where I had all the urw tfms, which was nice. I had my focus on the berry typescripts back then, not your excellent adobekb work. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
