from texexec. I have installed the fonts with --en=ec, so that is ruled out. What could the problem be?

I don't know where your problems come from. You could just try using the package from my site: http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-1-4

Don't forget to texhash!

Thanks. I did the same, and I still have a similar problem. I installed the font in /usr/local/share/texmf, and ran texhash. Now, that ls-r has the font info. I am getting the following: (Part of the output): kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-genr101 ! I can't find file `ec-genr101'. <*> ...four; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-genr101 Please type another input file name ! Emergency stop. <*> ...four; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-genr101 [snip] l.6 \setupbodyfont [sil-gentium, rm, 12pt] ? H I wasn't able to read the size data for this font, so I will ignore the font specification. [Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.] You might try inserting a different font spec; e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'. Could you give me any further suggestions?

Did you rename all files to lowercase (and without spaces)? ConTeXt sometimes has problems if file names use uppercase letters.

Under Linux with teTeX 3.0 (with latest ConTeXt), I try many times with upper filename (TTF, PFB) and I have never problem with. It works correctly on my box, and of course under Unix/Linux in general IMHO. I don't use TeX under Windows, so I have no idea. -- http://vnoss.org Vietnamese Open Source Software Community

Did you read the thread "font encodings (glyph lossed..."? As you see, we have some problems with TrueType fonts. My font package from this morning is better than the old one, but still lacks at least the 'dcroat' letter.

But your problem is another kind. I'd suggest to start over and use the latest Gentium distribution (1.02), but so far:

Now, that is what I am doing.

What Gentium files do you have in your fonts tree? Which vendor/ collection names did you use? (sil/gentium?) - AFMs (not needed) - TTFs (texmf/fonts/truetype/sil/gentium/*.ttf) - TFMs (texmf/fonts/tfm/sil/gentium/*.tfm) - MAPs (texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-sil-gentium.map)

I have all the files, and again, I tried to do the wiki's suggestions. Now, whenever I compile the test file, I get an error in Acrobat saying "Cannot find font in Resources, using Helvetica instead".

Did you rename all files to lowercase (and without spaces)? ConTeXt sometimes has problems if file names use uppercase letters.

I have done this, and I believe that this helped.

There should be ec-genr101.tfm and .ttf in your case, that's what TeX is looking for.

Yes, I have the 102 ones.

If the TFM is found, you'll run in the next problem: Probably in the .map file there's '.pfb' instead of '.ttf'

No, that seems all right.

I always need to run texhash with root permissions ('sudo texhash'), otherwise the database cannot be written.

I also run it with root permission. Thanks for your patient responses. If you think you can suggest anything further, please do so; though I am on the verge of giving up... BTW, it might help if you know that I am using tetex-3.0 on Debian GNU/Linux. Thanks again. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 462, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036
