For me, it was because the .map file describing the relation between the font name and outline file (tfm -> pfb) was not found. The log will have a message something like "need map file..." which means "need it and can't find it." If tex can't find an outline file, it drops back and tries to find or generate a bitmap font. The sample job which texfont generates has \loadmapfile[...] in it, but this does not work unless \autoloadmapfilestrue is set in your cont-sys.tex file. By default, it is commented out. Note that you can place a test copy of this (or any other tex-related) file in the current directory for experimentation purposes, and it will be found first. Alternatively, you can add a +map entry to pdftex.cfg, or add the new map lines directly to pdftex.map. Neither of these are as convenient has having the map files located and loaded automatically, as above. When I use \autoloadmapfilestrue, I get a bunch of warning messages about duplicated definitions, but they seen harmless. I've just started experimenting with truetype files. pdftexman.pdf shows that they can be referenced in a map file just like type1 fonts, using xxx.ttf for the outline file name instead of xxx.pfb. You have to generate a tfm file, of course. This works, but the letter spacing is wrong for the samples I've tried, so I need to investigate more. There has been talk of a FAQ recently. Somewhat presumptuously, I am workining on a context/pdftex help page, which will serve merely to help beginners like me over some of the problems I have encountered while learning tex and context. Font definition and selection will be a big section. -Bill
