Hi Adam, Hans...
...and all of you who are trying to help us solve (and maybe
understand) the intricacies of font management!
Here is what I did: on Saturday I tried to answer David Rogers'
question and so typeset an example file I had, before sending him.
Unfortunately everything went wrong for some reasons and so I gave up.
After Adam's and Hans' suggestion right this afternoon, I uninstalled
my gwTeX, as well as ConTeXt and reinstalled everything anew.
I did not, and I do not have pdftex.map in
*/fonts/map/*/context/
and nevertheless when I tried to typeset my minimal sample file:
% times-bad.tex
\usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont [postscript] % with or without this line
\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
on my "virgin" installation, something goes wrong and the log shows
the following:
[...snip...]
Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+14/72 --dpi 86 ptmr8r
mktexpk: Running gsftopk ptmr8r 86
gsftopk(k) version 1.19.2
Process aborted
/813
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [11] [12] [14] [15] [16] [17]
[30] [31]
[32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41Terminated
("Terminated" because I aborted the process).
I am not at all familiar with mktexpk (I even ignored its exisetnce
up to now...), but the option
--bpdi 72
makes me think it is building a "72 dots per inch" font which we all
hate, even after magnification
--mag 1+14/72...
I should also say that this does not infer with math fonts which
appear correctly as one may see from the PDF attachments I sent (and
which went finally through the list's moderator).
Thanks again for your help: OK

Hi Otared,
What you mention sounds like a bug propagated by Hans last month.
Take a
look at this thread:

(Assuming you're comfortable with the CLI, I'd suggest verifying
the bad
file by navigating to /usr/local/teTeX/share or wherever your tex
trees
live, and looking for the file:
ls */fonts/map/*/context/pdftex.map
If a file is returned, delete it (and mktexlsr again).
If nothing is returned, then never mind, it's something else on
your system.
One brief comment on your font selection below:
Otared Kavian said this at Mon, 4 Jul 2005 16:28:31 +0200:
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[postscript]
\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding] %or helvetica, or palatino
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
The [postscript] line in the above example is unnecessary. I'd suggest
cutting it out entirely. With a properly-configured system, the three
remaining lines should give you the results you expect.
