Hello everyone,

   I am a newbie to ConTeXt. I have no idea how to use the Times Roman font
   in ConTeXt. (in Latex, just \usepackage{times})

   I found something like this:   (http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html)
   
   % Times font
   \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r]
   \setupbodyfont[pos]
   
   \starttext
   hellow, world
   \stoptext

   but an error occours:
---------------------------------------------
kpathsea: Running mktexmf utmr8t

<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input utmr8t

I want to know what I can do with it. Thanks!

On my system, using the above, the following happens (why??):

============================================
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3) (format=cont-en

}\if...
...
l.4 \setupbodyfont[pos]

?
============================================

But if I comment the first two lines, it works:

============================================
%\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[pos]

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext
============================================

Another way:

============================================
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] 
[default] [encoding=ec]

\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm]


\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
===========================================

BTW, what are the lines

\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]

for?

Yes, an error here as well. Did you try the two other ways I mentioned in my 
other reply:

============================================
%\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[pos] % note the comments

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext
============================================

Another way:

============================================
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]

\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm]


\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
===========================================

If neither of these two work then something is really wrong...

Your TeXecec is very old; I'm using  TeXExec 5.2.4

>ConTeXt  ver: 2003.1.31  fmt: 2005.3.19  int: english  mes: english

We are apparently using the same version of ConTeXt, minus TeXexec.

On 2005-03-20 and 2005-03-21 there was a thread on this list about using 
the Times Roman font under the CONTEXT distribution for Windows.

I'm running into similar problems (also with the Bookman and Lucida 
bright fonts) and I am curious whether the problem was solved and how.
