[NTG-context] Still font issues with I-Installer Mac OSX

Hello,

I know that the font problems are a FAQ, but after reading the mail 
archives and manuals I am still having problems. I did a clean install 
of the I-Installer base installation (2005 default) yesterday and still 
get pixel fonts instead of outline fonts. Also I have problems using 
the adobe type1 fonts which worked before. I would like some pointers 
to resolve the problems as a lot of my older documents are typeset with 
ConTeXt using the old way of including adobekb file.

Below are two examples of the problems encountererd

I get the pixel result attached. The output from texexec shows the 
inclusion of the font:

</var/tmp/texfonts/pk/modeless/public/lm/ec-lmr12.72pk>

The font maps are now set correctly per instructions of Hans Hagen 
automatically by the installer. See attached texmf.cnf file

On a second test I tried to use the postscript fonts:

\usetypescript[pos]
%\usetypescript[modern]

\setupbodyfont[pos,ss,12pt]

\starttext
\input knuth
\blank

Some ligatures: ffi, ffl.
\stoptext

Resulting in the output below.
