Hi. I'm just catching up with this issue.
Mojca is giving you the right information. I've installed hfbright on my
machine and can confirm that it is OT1 (context's `default' encoding)
only. The easiest way to fix this for you is to return to the
typescripts and make sure they say:
  [encoding=default] instead of
  [encoding=ec]

As you are probably aware, there are issues with hyphenation and the OT1
encoding. However, the TFMs and free Type 1 glyphs for this font simply
are not around.

May I suggest looking at the new Latin Modern light sans fonts for text,
and using hfbright for mathematics only?
