Hi all, I've recently started reading about typefaces in ConTeXt, and trying out the examples of `showfont.pdf', but stumbled upon errors for almost all the fonts. My installation uses teTeX-3.0 on FreeBSD: keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ pkg_info | fgrep -i tetex dvipsk-tetex-5.95a_2 Convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript teTeX-3.0_2 A meta port for teTeX suite teTeX-base-3.0_11 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (binaries) teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (texmf tree) xdvik-tetex-22.84.10_1 DVI Previewer(kpathsearch) for X keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ When I try typesetting: \definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] \switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg] \starttext Foo bar. \stoptext All I get is an error like: % (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running mktextfm uzcmi8t % mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t % This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) % % kpathsea: Running mktexmf uzcmi8t % !

Am I missing something, is there anything I can do to download these files, or generate them in my teTeX installation? Thanks in advance for any help, Giorgos

When I try typesetting:
\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] \switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]
\starttext Foo bar. \stoptext
All I get is an error like:
% (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running mktextfm uzcmi8t % mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t % This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)
I think something is broken with my installation. Even trying to use the Postscript fonts breaks with 8-point font errors :-/

don't use tetex, use tex live or take one of the more recent packages (see wiki) you've probably chosen an encoding that has no matching tfm files in the distribition (\setupencoding[default=ec] may help) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, teTeX is the `standard' TeX distribution on FreeBSD. I'll try TeX live, though. Thanks :)

Thanks for the tip :-) It seems teTeX is missing tfm files even for `ec', since trying to typeset a PDF version of the following: \setuppapersize[A4] % Define page margins, and enable them for this document. \definelayout[keramidaLayout] [backspace=60mm,cutspace=20mm,width=middle] \setuplayout[keramidaLayout] \setupencoding[default=ec] \definetypeface [postscript] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] \definetypeface [postscript] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [rscale=.9] \definetypeface [postscript] [tt] [mono] [courier] [default] [rscale=1.1] \switchtotypeface [postscript] [11pt] \starttext \subject{Foxes and dogs} The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy black dog.

I can't find file `utmr8t'. <*> ...=canonex; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input utmr8t Please type another input file name ! Emergency stop. Thanks for all the help. I will try getting either TeX Live or one of the newer packages :-) - Giorgos

You can also try adding either \usetypescript[berry][ec] or \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] See http://pragma-ade.com/general/technotes/tfmetrics.pdf for the reasons for different font encodings. Aditya
