Installing Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt

Installing Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt

Hi,

I'm trying to install Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt, I'm using texfont, and all
but one font properly generate:

Good:
\starttyping
\definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-BoldB][texnansi-hum777b][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-BoldItalicB][texnansi-hum777bi][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-ItalicB][texnansi-hum777i][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-RomanB][texnansi-hum777n][encoding=texnansi]
\stoptyping

Bad:
\starttyping
\definefontsynonym[][texnansi-zhu601bi][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Bold][texnansi-zhum601b][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Italic][texnansi-zhum601i][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Roman][texnansi-zhum601n][encoding=texnansi]
\stoptyping
(Complete file attached)

Does anybody have a clue why the first define went sour? Which tool is used
to extract the metadata from the .pfb files?

Also, I'm currently installing in ~/texmf, however, say I'd want to make
these fonts available system-wide, what would be the correct place to move
them?

And texfont creates a series of .tex files (containing the above text), what
is the properly location to put them? I don't want to copy these files into
each project directory.

Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn

Looks like a typing error in the pfb rename of  0018a___.pfb: it should
be named zhum601bi.pfb (note the 'm').

Best wishes,
Taco

Is renaming required?  I got the fonts from a CorelDRAW cdrom. I used the
files as is.

Anyway other font collections also have deviating filenames, and they work
just fine.

In that case, I don't know what is wrong either, sorry.

In my experience, you have to get the coordination between pfb and tfm  
exactly right. Things are case sensitive etc... I'm sure there's just a  
typo or mismatch somewhere

Better to put them in texmf-local or, even better, texmf-project (may have  
to edit setuptex.bat in that case). I NEVER install anything in texmf if I  
can help it.

See also the MyWay I wrote on this topic, maybe something in there will  
help.

Best wishes
Idris

I renamed all the fonts according to:
http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Bitstream-fonts.html#Bitstream-fonts

I did this using a script, so there very little chance of error.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
