I hope you don't mind if I add on a question of my own here. * Hans Hagen (pragma@wxs.nl) wrote: > \setupencoding[default=ec] > \usetypescript [berry] [ec] > > \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] > > some text in times That's the first time I have succeeded in getting any font other than computer modern! Thanks. The above comes out using the URW fonts. If I use dvips -Ppdf on the DVI file, they get included into the PDF file. What I want to do is use the fonts *built into* Acrobat. That way, the file size will be smaller. In latex, for example, I did this using the txfonts package: \usepackage{txfonts} This ended up with everything in Times-Roman, which did not get embedded so the file size was minimal. Could you tell me how to do this with ConTeXt? I don't know enough to be able to tell if this is really a Context question, but any pointers would be appreciated. Also, what is the a direct way to specify a font, (by filename?), without using all the Context font infrastructure which I do not understand yet. For example, .. \usethisfontrightnow[utmr8a] Stuff in Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular .. The only reason I want to do this is for testing, there are just so many layers in the way at the moment that I don't know where things go wrong. -- Regards, John Devereux jd@plastech-controls.com
