Hello All,

I'm again hit by the disapperance of the Adoboe default fonts. When I create a PDF document, I get the Nimbus (urw) fonts, instead of the Adobe.

The final remapping is done in 8r-base.map, as far as I can see (in dvi mode the font 'phvr8t' is used). If you actually have the Adobe binary font files, I suggest copying Hans' 8r-base to a different directory such that it will be found before the distributed one, and change the 'u' pfb names to 'p' pfb names in the copy. If you do _not_ have the Adobe binary fonts, then I am afraid you have to learn to live with the URW versions. These days, a non-embedded Helvetica seems to imply the use of Adobe Sans MM, and I've had a production PDF rejected by a printing house because of that.

...

updmap --edit gives:

LW35 ADOBEkb pdftexDownloadBase14 false

updmap is irrelevant, ConTeXt comes with its own map files. Cheers, Taco

I would second what Taco says: not embedding is just asking for trouble from third parties. However, if you're independent or otherwise control everybody's viewer, try this: \usetypescript[adobekb][8r] \loadmapfile[8r-base-ndl] \usetypescript[postscript][8r] % 'pos' is deprecated \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,11pt] \starttext \showbodyfont \subject{Test} Of correct font. \stoptext

...

updmap is irrelevant, ConTeXt comes with its own map files.

And here's one that ConTeXt can use (after Berend gives a thorough test and some feedback). [Incidentally, there is one NimbusRoman that gets embedded: that's the slanted version, which seems unavoidable.] adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

That is to say, could you please give a more detailed report? It works here: The attached new mapfile (in my original post) lived in a ConTeXt-accessible path (in this case, just the testfile's directory), and contained entries directly cut-and-paste from my pdftex_ndl14.map. Some commentary on the testfile: %D Berry doesn't work here because it's not available with 8r: \usetypescript[adobekb][8r] %D The adobekb typescript loads 8r-base, so we have to %D overwrite the font embedding entries by loading this after: \loadmapfile[8r-base-ndl] %D The current way of triggering the 'pos' combination: \usetypescript[postscript][8r] % 'pos' is deprecated \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,11pt] \starttext %D Since this triggers the "slanted" variant, there will be *one* %D NimbusRoman font embedded. The rest is left up to the viewer: \showbodyfont \subject{Test} Of correct font. \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Oh good! I was starting to doubt some of my core competencies. Now, can you take it out for an extended spin/test? I'd like to be able to package it up in a way that (potentially) allows others to use it.

I already did. Works perfectly for every document.

Acrobat Reader 7.0 on Linux:

Helvetica Type: Type 1 Encoding: Custom Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM Actual Font Type: Type 1

That means: Theres nowhere any URW Nimbus font, but simply *none* embedded, so Adobe Reader uses its substitution "Adobe Sans". I guess you would be happy with the Nimbus font...
