distribution

A font problem -- again. I am so sorry.
I try to use the URW postscript fonts with the stand-alone
mswincontext.zip distribution. Everything else seems to work fine, but
when I say:
\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript[pos][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos,11pt]
I get a bunch of complaints from Acroread, and it uses Helvetica
everywhere. (The same happens with Postscript instead of pos.)
The reason is rather clear, the log has the following rows:
Warning: pdfetex.exe (file ptmb8y): Font ptmb8y at 79 not found
Warning: pdfetex.exe (file pcrr8y): Font pcrr8y at 55 not found
Warning: pdfetex.exe (file pcrr8y): Font pcrr8y at 86 not found
etc.
So, the system tries to find the Adobe fonts which I do not have. Their
URW counterparts are included in the stand-alone distribution, but the
system does not seem to look for the u***** fonts.
I do not claim to understand the complete font mess, but ConTeXt seems
to get the right map files:
fonts : resetting map file list
fonts : using map file: original-base
fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm
fonts : using map file: ec-base
fonts : using map file: original-ams-base
fonts : using map file: original-public-lm
fonts : using map file: texnansi-base
fonts : using map file: texnansi-urw-times
fonts : using map file: original-youngryu-tx
fonts : using map file: texnansi-urw-helvetica
fonts : using map file: texnansi-urw-courier
What goes wrong? I am using the newest mswincontext.zip downloaded just
a half an hour ago, the log says:
ConTeXt ver: 2006.01.09 fmt: 2006.1.9 int: english mes: english
Thanks for all hints. And once again, sorry for spamming the list with
YAFP (Yet Another Font Problem).
