corrupted .map files or MikTeX messing around?
Hello,
a friend sent me some currupted PDF files (produced by ConTeXt)
yesterday: all the fonts were missing in the document. He installed
the latest ConTeXt (unzipped cont-tmf) on top of MikTeX (and I was
able to reproduce his problem).
In MikTeX the file
fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/ec-public-lm.map
was used instead of
fonts/map/dvips/context/ec-lm.map
ec-public-lm.map looks like:
ec-lmb10 lm-ec lmb10
ec-lmbo10 lm-ec lmbo10
ec-lmbx10 lm-ec lmbx10
ec-lmbx12 lm-ec lmbx12
while the other one reads:
ec-lmb10 LMRoman10-Demi "enclmec ReEncodeFont"
Please ignore my post. I should have read the other thread more carefully before posting this. Mojca

Whose fault is it? MikTeX's pdfTeX using the wrong path & files or were the map files [unintentionally] changed in order to support XeTeX perhaps?

Mojca, I have no idea if this is related, but I had similar problems a few days ago when I was using TeXShop on OS X. I get error messages such as this one: {/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/ original-empty.ma p} fonts : using map file: original-base {/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/ original-base.map Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/ dvipdfm/con text/original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing The point seems to be that ConTeXt somehow runs in dvipdfm mode and reads the wrong mapfiles. How do you call ConTeXt? When I run it on the CLI or from within emacs/auctex with texmfstart texexec, everything works again. I assume that an obsolete command is passed to the command interpreter in your case as well. HTH Thomas

dvipdfmx and pdftex have a different map file syntax; normally the progname variable takes care of that: TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}// so you need to figure out what miktex is using (btw, i thought that i put the map files in the pdftex path) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
