Re: Font problems

[David Arnold <darnold@northcoast.com>]

Hans,

Some progress, still not there. Here is the file I am compiling. Call it
junk.tex.

%output=pdf
\starttext
\usetypescript [all] [lucida] [texnansi]
My name is David!
\stoptext

As per installation directions, I found \miktex\pdftex\config\pdftex.cfg.
It looked like this before I started messing with it. 

pk_resolution 600
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits
3
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin
1 true in
map psfonts.map

I added the following as per instructions in minstall.pdf.

pk_resolution 600
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits
3
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin
1 true in
map psfonts.map
map +context.map

Now, the above file (junk.tex) compiles, but fonts are completely igonored
and the resulting pdf file reports (Document Properties->Fonts) that cmr12
is used. If I change the last line of pdftex.cfg to:

map context.map

then compiling junk.tex gives me a pdf file that reports (Document
Properties->Fonts) that the orginal font is F1, type is Type 3, encoding is
Custom, Actual font is F1, and type is Type 3. So, that is the good news.
Of course, that's not Lucida and the output looks terrible. So that's the
bad news.

As another test, with map context.map in pdftex.cfg, the following file

%output=pdf
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lbr]
My name is David!
\stoptext

still gives this error:

?

As another interesting test, with either

pk_resolution 600
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits
3
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin
1 true in
map psfonts.map

or

pk_resolution 600
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits
3
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin
1 true in
map psfonts.map
map +context.map

the file (call it junk2.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lucidabr}
\begin{document}
Hello, cruel world!
\end{document}

compiles just fine. The pdf file reports (Document Properties->Fonts)
Original font as LucidaBright, type as Type 1, Encoding as custom, Actual
font as Embedded subset, and type as Type 1. However, if I use

pk_resolution 600
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits
3
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin
1 true in
map psfonts.map
map context.map

then the resulting pdf file reports Original font as F6, type as Type 3,
Encoding as Custom, Actual font F16, and type as Type 3, just as above with
my context file junk.tex.

I am using Miktex 2 with Update 1.
