missing tfm fonts

missing tfm fonts

[Johannes Hüsing]

In type-enc.tex there is mentioning of "existing tfm and vf files we
provide", such as ec-upl*.*.

Are these really needed, and how do I obtain them? My Palatino metric 
files have names like uplr8t.tfm.

Greetings

In the same file are lines such as:

    \definefontsynonym [ec-uplr8a] [uplr8t]  [encoding=ec]

creating a synonym for the existing tfm file. This should work without
any new files:

    \usetypescript[berry][ec] 
    \usetypescript[palatino][ec] 
    \setupbodyfont[palatino]

This was the necessary bit. Without it, the ec-upl variant would be
tried. Thank you very much!
