Fonts not found

Fonts not found

[Johannes H?sing]

Hi all,

I recently decided rto change from the SuSE Linux to the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution. I was dissatisfied with the version of ConTeXt
on the latter and installed a new ConTeXt on the TEXLOCAL tree. 

Since then, I get disturbing messages running ConTeXt like
"Warning: cont-en (file cmr8): Font cmr8 at 720 not found"
and even more disturbing output (ugly pixelish fonts), even though the
font files seem to be there: "locate cmr8.pfb" gets me
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr8.pfb.

Looking at the log I see that all paths mentioned use the TEXLOCAL
tree. The only exception is /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. 
Oh yes, and cmr8.pfb is mapped to cmr8 in pdftex.map.

Could anyone guess what I might have been doing wrong here?

Thanks very much

Johannes

This is unrelated to context. Are you sure that the pdf config file
includes a proper map file from the right path? There have been changes
(long ago) in the location of those paths. Also set up: 

set TEXMFLOCAL=...
set TEXMFMAIN=...
set TEXMFCNF=...

Most certainly, but maybe not to ConTeXt :-). I run pdflatex without 
problems so the issue apparently is not within pdftex.

I don't know if pdftex.cfg expects the pdftex.map file to reside in the
$TEXMFMAIN/dvips/config folder, so I created a soft link to the same
directory as pdftex.cfg. Same effect. So, where would pdftex expect the
map file to be? Oh yes, and I ran texhash.

You may then check the paths as specified in texmf.cnf where fonts are
sought. Maybe there is a difference there. 

you cal so otry one of the obscure path search debugging flags (pdfetex
--help)

Ahoi,

while I found a workaround for my problem, I still don’t understand the cause:

– I defined a family of Gentium and Delicious in a typescript file (as attached in my previous post),
– If I load this in a minimal example, as above, all is well.
– If I load this in an environment, the fonts are ignored. There are no error messages.
– If I change the font size from 9.5pt to any integer size, it works!

Does this ring any bells? What’s wrong with decimal font sizes, and why only in a project setup?

Sorry for hijacking the other thread.
While I saw the same error message at some time, I seem to have a different problem.

My log says only:

I try to attach the typescript file.

Never mind... Problem solved.

I re-installed everything and my fonts are recognized with no problem.
thank you

fonts not found

[Ciro]

Ok ,  I changed the subject:

I just installed ConTeXt minimals, but my fonts are not found now:

 "define fonts    > font with name Barnard-Oblique is not found"

 font files are there, but some how context can't see them.

 I ran "context --generate" and got lines like this:

 MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree
 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-fonts'
 MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree
 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-local'
 MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree
 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-linux'
 MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree
 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-context


 and also ran "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and got lines like this:

 MTXrun | fontnames: scanning /home/ciro/context/tex/texmf for AFM files
 MTXrun | fontnames: 3323 entries found, 0 AFM files checked, 0 okay

 MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.ttf
 MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix TTF
 MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.TTF
 MTXrun | fontnames: 639 system files identified, 39 skipped, 39
 duplicates, 600 hash entries added

My fonts are in $HOME/.fonts  (lunix/ubuntu)

I don't use typescripts. I use

\definefontsynonym [baob] [file:Barnard-Oblique] [features=default]

 what should I do?

 thank you
 Ciro
