Hopefully some of came along the same problem and can offer a quick solution. At first I thought the problem arise from the fact that I use a font converted from TTF. But I tried the procedure with an arbitrary Type1 font (Bitstream Charter ripped out of ghostscript) with the same result. I installed the fonts with the following command texfont --vendor=bitstream --collection=charter --make --install This runs as expected. Then I instruct MikTeX to refresh its file databases because texfont failes to do so (usage message is printed). When trying to run texexec over the generated sample file context spits out following messages: Warning: pdfetex (file texnansi-raw-bchri): Font texnansi-raw-bchri at 600 not found name: texnansi-raw-bchr, dpi=600, bdpi=600, mag=magstep(0.0) makemf --verbose texnansi-raw-bchr cannot find texnansi-raw-bchr source file. ttf2pk -q -n texnansi-raw-bchr 600 hbf2gf -q -p texnansi-raw-bchr 600 Consulting F:\texmf\miktex\config\config.makepk... Consulting F:\texmf\dvips\config\config.ps... makepk: don't know how to make texnansi-raw-bchr.pk! And the .log contains such lines: Warning: pdfetex (file texnansi-raw-bchri): Font texnansi-raw-bchbi at 600 not found So obviously pdfetex cannot build .pk files. As far as I (I'm a (context|latex) user only, never really cared how it works behind the scenes) understand these are rasterised versions of the font. My questions are: 1. Why does pdfetex need rasterised font. I thought it uses vector fonts only? 2. How can I get this working? Ah yes: MikTex 2.6, latest context beta, Windows XP Many thanks, Andreas
