For what it is worth, neither did the Slackware 9.1 distribution that I have. If you have the locate command installed (and the the locate database is uptodate), run the following commands to see just what font files are on your system: locate uplr | grep .tfm locate uplr | grep .pfb locate uplr | grep .afm If you don't have locate, use the find command to see which palatino font files you have and where they are located. Post the results back here. Also post the results of: grep uplr /path/to/pdftex.cfg grep pplr /path/to/pdftex.cfg On my system the uplr8a files are mapped to the pplr8a names in pdftex.cfg, but there are no pplr.pfb files. I ended up writing my own typescript files before I got the URW palatino fonts to work in ConTeXt. Bill McClain's website was a big help in this. -- Larry Stamm http://www.larrystamm.com
