Using fonts of an existing TeX-Installation

Using fonts of an existing TeX-Installation

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,
I have a working recent (La)TeX and ConTeXt installation. I have added several 
commercial PostScript fonts and can use them with (La)TeX. The font files of 
those fonts are in   directories under texmf-local/fonts (afm, tfm, vf, 
type1), that is, as suggested by TeXFont manual for ConTeXt.
However,  following the TeXFont manual for ConTeXt, do I have to reinstall 
them from scratch for ConTeXt starting with the pfb- and afm-files from 
texmf-local/fonts/source, or can I use the already distributed pfb- and 
afm-files? Does a reinstallation interfer with the existing font installation 
for (La)TeX?

Thanks for helpful hints in advance

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

Yes, as I already answered on the german tex-d-l mailing list. Did you
try my suggestion to add a typescript and just use the fonts?
