font distribution for Bitstream Vera

font distribution for Bitstream Vera

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

There's now a ConTeXt distribution of Bitstream Vera freeware font at 
my site:
http://www.ramm.ch/fiee/texnique/?menu=0-1-4&lang=en

(Source of the font is gnome.org, redistribution is allowed, so I 
packed it.)

Vera is similar to Verdana and Lucida; it contains Sans (4), Serif (2) 
and Mono (4).


Grüßlis vom Hraban!

I'm having problem with the fonts.  I unzipped the file in texmf.local and
then with the file:

\usetypescriptfile      [type-bitstream-vera]
\usetypescript  [tiee][bitstream-vera]
\setupbodyfont  [bitstream-vera, ss, 12pt]

\starttext

This is roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic}, 
{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.

$$E = m c^2$$

\stoptext

I got,

What else do I need to do to set up the fonts correctly?

Thanks,
