Thanks for the reminder, fixed now (it has been copy-pasted of course).

OK, but wait - that either
a) seems to be a XeTeX problem now.
b) ConTeXt asks XeTeX to use Eco101Roman.pfb, which might be found,
but doesn't work
Can you try to use just
\starttext
\font\a=Eco101Roman
{\a test a}
\definefontsynonym[b][name:Eco101Roman][features=default]
{\definedfont[b] test b}
\stoptext
Try to use
\definefontsynonym[name:Eco-Regular] [Eco101Roman][features=default]
\definefontsynonym[name:Eco-Bold] [Eco301Bold][features=default]
\definefontsynonym[name:Eco-Italic][Eco102Italic][features=default]
\definefontsynonym[name:Eco-BoldItalic][...][features=default]
instead of the four Wolfgang's suggestions.
(though still using Wolfgang's suggested script). See output below.
I'm getting desperate now...
There is no need to :)
ConTeXt community is really a friendly one, and sooner or later you
will find the answers.

[NTG-context] Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
Hi,
I am fairly new to both ConTeXt (and XeTeX) but I've already been very
impressed with the active user community and the amount of
documentation available, as well as with the sheer userfriendliness of
ConTeXt when compared to LaTeX. Now I'm trying to get into fonts, but
activating a Postscript Type 1 font seems to go beyond my abilities
and the wiki documentation on
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX . Perhaps anybody can
help?
I have a Postscript type 1 font family called Eco, consisting of
Eco101Roman, Eco102Italic, Eco301Bold and some others. FontBook shows
these names identically as PostScript name, Full Name and Family name
(which means Fontbook is unaware that they are a family, but this is
not the topic here).
The fonts can be used with any Mac application and they also work fine
in a LaTeX-fontspec-XeTeX combination: the following minimal LaTeX
file produces the text as desired in Eco101Roman.
1 %!TEX TS-program = xelatex
2 %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
3 \documentclass[12pt]{article}
4 \usepackage{fontspec}
5 \defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
6 \setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Eco101Roman}

14 \section{This is a new section}
15 Let's try to \emph{write} this.
16
17 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,
40 \end{document}
On ConTeXt however, I cannot get the font to be recognised. Please see
my testfile below, in which I tried to
(a) compile it with a self-installed TrueType font (which works)
(b) tried to select Eco101Roman directly (which produces a ** ERROR **
Invalid font) and
(c) tried to select the font through a typescript (which produces a
Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.)
What am I doing wrong? How can I get these fonts to work (and make
ConTeXt treat them as a proper family too?)
Looking forward to your ideas!

Xserif will not work if the font is not designed properly (grouped
into the same family). Does \bf, \bi etc. work if you use
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Eco101Roman}
in XeLaTeX (I guess not).
20 %% TYPE1 with typescript

Leave [uc] out. It is not needed (any more). No other font encoding
is supported in XeTeX.
22 \definefontsynonym
[Eco-Roman]['Eco101Roman:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc]
That was the old deprecated syntax. Now the same can be expressed with
% put font name for an installed font here
\definefontsynonym[Eco-Roman][name:Eco101Roman][features=default]
or
% put filename here if kpathsea can find the file in
[texmf]/fonts/opentype/[something]
\definefontsynonym[Eco-Roman][file:Eco101Roman][features=default]
features=default implies mapping=tlig (which replaces
mapping=tex-text) and handles endash, emdash and apostrophe
(ligatures like `? - reversed question mark, ,, - quotation mark,
... from tex-text are not present since we considered them
unnecessary)
23 \definefontsynonym [Eco-Italic]
['Eco102Italic:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc]
24 \definefontsynonym [Eco-Bold]
['Eco301Bold:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc]

Same for all of them.

Re: [NTG-context] Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
Roland, I forgot two things so I should better mention some before you ask. First: welcome to the ConTeXt community. Second: you need a *recent enough* ConTeXt (anything between october 07-january 08), but if you take the latest one, then you also need the future version of LM :) And you need a recent version of XeTeX xdvipdfmx. If you're using TeX Live's version, then: a) update XeTeX binaries compile it from sources or take it from here (you can download it manually from http or using rsync) and replace the old binaries with these ones: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ or rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ path-to-bins b) update ConTeXt many other ways to do it as well (you can take a zip from pragma) For example: rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/2008.01.16/ path-to-texmf-tree-with-context you may replace 2008.01.16 with any version that you find here: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/ 2008.01.16 requres new LM fonts already, older versions do not. c) update LM if you take too recent ConTeXt (otherwise, leave the fonts alone) - these fonts are still a pre-release version, so you should better take an older version of ConTeXt rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/fonts/new/fonts/opentype/public/lm/ path-to-LM Mojca ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
Hi Mojca, Thanks for your two answers. I guess updating my distribution is the first priority--perhaps that is causing all the errors I just posted in answer to Wolfgang's suggestion. I'll try your suggestion and then see if it works, will confirm to the mailing list once I know. Thanks Roland PS Is it always necessary to upgrade a fresh distribution immediately? I am a bit surprised that a fresh MacTex from December would already be so outdated... On 20/01/2008, Mojca Miklavec [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Roland, I forgot two things so I should better mention some before you ask. First: welcome to the ConTeXt community. Second: you need a *recent enough* ConTeXt (anything between october 07-january 08), but if you take the latest one, then you also need the future version of LM :) And you need a recent version of XeTeX xdvipdfmx. If you're using TeX Live's version, then: a) update XeTeX binaries compile it from sources or take it from here (you can download it manually from http or using rsync) and replace the old binaries with these ones: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ or rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ path-to-bins b) update ConTeXt many other ways to do it as well (you can take a zip from pragma) For example: rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/2008.01.16/ path-to-texmf-tree-with-context you may replace 2008.01.16 with any version that you find here: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/ 2008.01.16 requres new LM fonts already, older versions do not. c) update LM if you take too recent ConTeXt (otherwise, leave the fonts alone) - these fonts are still a pre-release version, so you should better take an older version of ConTeXt rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/fonts/new/fonts/opentype/public/lm/ path-to-LM Mojca ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I am a bit surprised that a fresh MacTex from December would already be so outdated... It might be that MacTeX has fixed its own bugs recently, but it is still based on TeXLive and that one has been released in January 2007 (with basically no updates since then). You can use the old ConTeXt XeTeX as well, but you will have problems later (nobody says that you won't have problems anyway :). An alternative in to use the standalone ConTeXt. For example by downloading and running http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/osx-intel/first-setup.sh and then putting something like . context/tex/setuptex context/tex to .bash_profile (or executing it each time when you need it) or to the place where TextMate can find it (~/context/ is where I have saved the first-setup.sh) The advantage of the standalone ConTeXt is that you can also use LuaTeX (Hans's and Taco's baby, so you have higher chances that it will work properly in ConTeXt - XeTeX is often a bit broken, but neither is really stable yet :). Thanks, I tried this. Getting loads of error messages though, see below. They are repeated multiple times in Textmate, just once when I try to issue the command mktextfm Eco101Roman from the command line. mxtextfm is the wrong command to use (that is an ancient TeX warning), intended for something else.
