I tried 6 out of the 8 files on Dante CTAN and they were all OK. The
CMRs *are* embedded as subsets, which seems to be misinterpreted by
your version of the Reader.

The most important variable in any problem with the Reader is (as
always) the version number of the Reader itself. Make sure you have
the latest reader from Adobe's ftp site.

Besides that, you are strongly advised to take the Context files
from the NTG web server http://www.ntg.nl/context/ since the CTAN
mirror is not always up-to-date.

Third point that may be of interest: if you want to tell the Reader to
use platform fonts, chances are pretty high that they have to be PFA
format instead of PFB format. So you will probably have to run
pfbtopfa or t1ascii on the files first.

Greetings and good luck,
