Hi all, 

I'm in the process of making a file font-ppl.tex, being a definition file
for the palatino. For the moment the content is: 

\definefontsynonym [Palatino-Roman]       [uplr8r]  [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Palatino-Italic]      [uplri8r] [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Palatino-Slanted]     [uplro8r] [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Palatino-Bold]        [uplb8r]  [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Palatino-BoldItalic]  [uplbi8r] [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Palatino-BoldSlanted] [uplbo8r] [encoding=ec]

\definefontsynonym [Serif]            [Palatino-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold]        [Palatino-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]      [Palatino-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted]     [Palatino-Slanted]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic]  [Palatino-BoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [Palatino-BoldSlanted]
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]        [Palatino-Roman]

\definebodyfont 
  [14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] 
  [rm] 
  [default]

\endinput

When testing this file with: 

\setuplayout
  [topspace=1cm,backspace=2cm,
   header=0pt,footer=0pt,height=middle,
   width=middle]

\starttext

\setupbodyfont[cmr,9pt] \showencoding

\setupbodyfont[ppl,9pt] \showencoding

\stoptext

One gets an overview of the glyphs, which in itself can be worth a try,
since it demonstrates one of the tracing options. Somehow, these fonts
don't match the ec encoding as perfect as they are supposed to. Does
someone has better experiences? (accented chars etc come out ok.) 

My pdftex map file has the following entries: 

uplr8r                   <uplr8a.pfb  <8r.enc
uplri8r                  <uplri8a.pfb <8r.enc
uplb8r                   <uplb8a.pfb  <8r.enc
uplbi8r                  <uplbi8a.pfb <8r.enc
uplro8r ".167 SlantFont" <uplr8a.pfb  <8r.enc
uplbo8r ".167 SlantFont" <uplb8a.pfb  <8r.enc

pplb8r  Palatino-Bold                          <pplb8a.pfb  8r.enc
pplbi8r Palatino-BoldItalic                    <pplbi8a.pfb 8r.enc
pplbo8r Palatino-Bold ".167 SlantFont"         <pplb8a.pfb  8r.enc
pplbu8r Palatino-BoldItalic "-.1763 SlantFont" <pplb8a.pfb  8r.enc
pplr8r  Palatino-Roman                         <pplr8a.pfb  8r.enc
pplri8r Palatino-Italic                        <pplri8a.pfb 8r.enc
pplro8r Palatino-Roman  ".167 SlantFont"       <pplr8a.pfb  8r.enc
pplru8r Palatino-Italic " -.1763 SlantFont"    <pplr8a.pfb  8r.enc

Since I want to add the font definition file to distribution, I need to be
sure that the original as well as berry names and encodings are ok. So, any
input is welcome. 

While testing this a \SS (german s) showed up, which I repaired. (I had to
move a def to the enco-ini file instead of the font-ini file.). This
probably also solves some bugs reported with this s. 

The next few months, I will also implement pdftex hz support. In the
process I want to do some tests (also with other optimizations). If people
don't mind, I'll ask for input and comments on this list.  

Hans
