Unfortunately, the context directory tree as on CTAN contains some pdf documentation that uses TeX fonts but does not have them embedded. I skimmed though this mailinglists archive but did not find an answer to my problem: I did not manage to tell Acrobat Reader to use the bluesky CM fonts I provided it with under SUN Solaris. On the screen, unknown characters (i.e. every character in context/generic/doc/*pdf) are displayed as big dots and small dots, on the printer they are all replaced by Helvetica which does not have ligatures and other special chars (not to tell about the kerning). UNIX Acroread has a Fonts directory with some base PS T1 fonts and an AcroRead.upr config file. I linked the bluesky/cm fonts therein and recreated AcroRead.upr with the Display PostScript makepsres command - it added lines like the following: FontFamily [...] Computer Modern=LCMSS8,LCMSS8,LCMSSB8,LCMSSB8,LCMSSI8,LCMSSI8,MB10,CMB10,\ MBSY10,CMBSY10,MBX10,CMBX10,MBX12,CMBX12,MBX5,CMBX5,MBX6,CMBX6,MBX7,CMBX7,\ MBX8,CMBX8,MBX9,CMBX9,MBXSL10,CMBXSL10,MBXTI10,CMBXTI10,MCSC10,CMCSC10,\ MDUNH10,CMDUNH10,MEX10,CMEX10,\ [...] . FontOutline CMB10=cmb10.pfb CMBSY10=cmbsy10.pfb CMBX10=cmbx10.pfb CMBX12=cmbx12.pfb [...] Acroread does read the file (it complained about a typo) but does not understand or realize the changes. Did I do anything wrong? Are the documents buggy? -- Karsten Tinnefeld Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
