It is (was, actually) supposed to switch from texfont-generated metric files (ec-utmr8t) to fontinst-generated metrics (ptmr8t). Since that is the default nowadays the command has become obsolete.

Re: [NTG-context] A font problem with the stand-alone Windows distribution
Try the next two lines instead of those three lines: \usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[postscript,11pt] Thank you, thank you, thank you! The problem was not the difference between pos and postscript (they seem to be synonyms, both work) but the magic row: \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] This one seems to instruct ConTeXt to use the real Adobe fonts. I tried almost every other combination but did not remove the row which says "Adobe". Stupid me. However, the magic row with "adobekb" is present in almost all examples I've seen. And yet very few people have the real Adobe fonts. So, possibly this should be noted somewhere.

[NTG-context] A font problem with the stand-alone Windows 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). - Ville ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
