That said, the basic three fonts are 99.8% glyph compatible with the existing PX support. So here's really really _cheap_ support (no bold yet): % add these two typescripts to your environment % before calling palatino math: \starttypescript[map][palatino][all] \loadmapfile[pazo] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[math][palatino][default] \definefontsynonym[pxmi][zplmr7m] \definefontsynonym[pxr][zplmr7t] \definefontsynonym[pxex][zplmr7v] \definefontsynonym[pxsy][zplmr7y] \stoptypescript % then call your palatino family: \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino] % and run it thru some tests: \starttext \input knuth \startformula \theta\over\xi = {\os 2}\varphi \stopformula \startformula \sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{1\over{a+b}}}}} \stopformula \showmathcharacters \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
