Since I gave away my NeXT system, I no longer have Adobe fonts.
Linux has (some version of) the URW fonts, so that is what I use.
Most of the font support in TL is for LaTeX. ConTeXt started out using
plain tex mechanism and then took a different approach. Look for
mfont.pdf on the ConTeXt site (I don't see it in TeX Live). It explains
how to generate the missing map files as well as the typescript.
You might look into XeTeX and (eventually) luatex, which are supposed to
make it easier to use system fonts.

Try just "[pos,11pt]". I get: (using the MKiV context with the svn version of
TL, so your results may not be quite the same, but this stuff shouldn't have
changed much.
