Hi Markus, you're on the right track; just two or three small corrections, and you should be in business: On Mar 25, 2009, at 8:21 PM, Markus Hubig wrote:

My map file looks like this (texnansi-adobe-avenir.map):

I'm not sure if you can have a space after the <

Two things here: you're defining a sans font, so change [rm] into [ss]. And for mkii (old-fashioned pdftex), I think you'll need to add the encoding to the typescript: \starttypescript [Avenir] [texnansi] \definetypeface [Avenir] [ss] [sans] [avenir] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript

When I try to use my typescript in my environment file like this:

\usetypescriptfile[type-adobe-avenir] \usetypescript[Avenir] \setupbodyfont[Avenir,10pt]

Yes, you have defined a sans font, but you're not setting sans as your bodyfont. ConTeXt defaults to serif (i.e. rm), and since your typescript doesn't define a rm font, it defaults to latin modern. So simply write: \setupbodyfont[Avenir,ss,10pt] HTH Thomas
