[Frans Goddijn]

Hello,

Encouraged by the example on the help-page I moved on and tried this, but
the only thing coming out was Computer Modern. I took the Times lines from
my previous (working) setup where the font definitions were spread over
files like font-fg.tex and fg.map

I'll move on in the help pages, now on to the texfont.pl explanations. Maybe
those will kickstart my setup...

regards, Frans

Your typescript file is shown elsewhere as "type-fgtimes". That is what
you should use in the line above.

Then, your job should say "\setupbodyfont[MyTimes]". (That's the English
command, at least).

Thankyou Bill for your remarks!

Anyway, it proves that even if I do my best, start at it well rested, take
three cups of coffee and work with my clearest mind I'm still way too foggy
and stupid (relatively speaking) to play with the pro's and I have now
totally given up.

Never mind, I must be good at other things. This feeling utterly, utterly
dumb and sad with failure will wear off, I know that by experience.

Groet!

what mess you've made of you laptop (this week i'm to busy, end of next 
week or so)

In your tex source you should setup the bodyfont:

\setupbodyfont[Mytimes, 12pt]

Hi,

At the last context meeting it was decided that he groups will support 
the upcoming stages of the tex gyre font project. The work is done by 
the polish font gurus and so far they have been funded by the user 
groups. However, this time not all groups join in, while still 
substantial funding is needed for this stage that will run for several 
years.

For a while there is already an entry for the project on:

https://www.tug.org/donate/dev.html

If you use the free math fonts you might consider donating there. After 
all, we depend on these fonts and there is still work to do: adding 
symbols to text fonts, a bold (heavy) companion for titling, a sans for 
titling, a monospaced math font for editing and manuals, completion, 
etc. The font folks have always delivered so donations will be well 
spent. ConTeXt has always been the first to use these fonts and I sort 
of assume that we will get these additions done as well, as it will make 
our live so much easier.

Hans

Re: fonts

Hi Hans,

If I understand it correctly, with the \setupbodyfontenvironment one can define various sizes and then apply them to various styles such as \it, \bf, etc. This is indeed great!
But in your example the math fonts disappear: is this intended?

Best regards: OK

Actually this is already an old feature. Math shows up okay here. What 
version do you run?

This is the same method which is used to create \bfa, \bfb etc. but instead of a single letter Hans used in his example longer names.

[Hans van der Meer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1388 bytes --]

I guess I am missing something in my font handling here, but do not know what.

Hans van der Meer

This is the minimal example:
\def\fontname{antykwa}
\setupbodyfont[\fontname]
\starttext
Requested font = \fontname.\crlf
\showbodyfont
\stoptext

This is my setup with respect to fonts:
context/tex/texmf-fonts (link to /usr/local/textlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts

Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --reload
Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --list --name antykwa
giving as output:
antykwatorunskaregular   antykwatorunskaregular   AntykwaTorunska-Regular.otf

Below is the output of the minimal example. Mark that \showbodyfont names modern, not antykwa. I get the same result with other fonts mentioned in "fonts in context" page 69-71 as preloaded typescripts! 

For example calling typeface cambria it even gives an error:
! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set.

system          > tex > error on line 6 in file test.tex: Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set ...

1     \def\fontname{cambria}
2     \setupbodyfont[\fontname]
3     \starttext
4     Requested font = \fontname.\crlf
5     \showbodyfont
6 >>  \stoptext
7     

\doshowbodyfont ...mr \languageparameter \c!text $
                                                  \quad }\vrule }\cr \noalig...
<to be read again> 
                   \stoptext

I don't know if this is related, but I got a similar error message some
days ago. The problem here was the missing font 'lmmath-regular.otf'.
Can you check that on your installation?

Re: fonts

This is the requested check:

101 ~: mtxrun --locate lmmath-regular.otf
/Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf

The font seems to be there.

Mh, no luck then. I tested your example without problems (log file

Do you set any TeX related environmental variables by hand?

Re: fonts

[Hans van der Meer]

Still a mystery to me. In your logfile I see the line
used files      >   16: filename=AntykwaTorunska-Regular | filetype=otf | format=otf | foundname=R:/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/antt/AntykwaTorunska-Regular.otf | usedmethod=database
I therefore concluse in your system ConTeXt has found the reference for \setupbodyfont[antykwa].

In my setup I have linked /Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-fonts to /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts. The are all sorts of otf files including those in public/antt. 
On building with mtxrun --script fonts --reload I see in the log:
fonts           | names | scanning /Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-fonts for otf files
fonts           | names | 47688 entries found, 528 otf files checked, 528 okay
My conclusion: these file should be in the database now.
Corroborated by mtxrun --script fonts --list --name antykwa ->
antykwatorunskaregular   antykwatorunskaregular   AntykwaTorunska-Regular.otf

Still context run has in the log:
(/Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-siz.mkiv) (/Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv)

The latter shows that antykwa is not found in the context run but mtxrun did! I am completely baffled. 

My environment variables regarding TeX are:
export TEXLIVE=/usr/local/texlive/2011
export TEXMFHOME=$HOME/TeX/texmf
export CONTEXTROOT=$HOME/TeX/context/tex

That typescript is defined in type-otf.mkiv, at least I my context standalone (installed just minutes ago).

Not booth are looking for the same thing: context looks for a typescript definition, mtxrun for a font. I suspect your problem is not that the font is not found, but that you are inadvertedly mixing the standalone context macros in with the texlive macros somehow.

Try removing the symlink in texmf-fonts, rerun mtxrun --script fonts --reload, and see what happens then (all needed files are in the standalone distribution).

Best wishes,
Taco

Did this, removed linked, let mtxrun reload the database, then running context. Same result:
files           > readfile > asked name: 'antykwa', not found

You said: (all needed files are in the standalone distribution). But is it possible that somehow the relevant files did not reach my computer? 
Searching for antykwa gives only these files in the context setup downloaded by me:
113 context: find . -name "*antykwa*"
./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/antykwa-math.lfg
./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/antykwapoltawskiego.lfg
That's all.

And finally, the unexplained cambria crash?

For the sake of completeness here the script I call inside the directory context where the distribution must be placed. Assuming that the installation procedure leaves present materials like texmf-local etc. intact:
curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
chmod a+x ./first-setup.sh
mkdir tex
sh ./first-setup.sh >first-setup.log
exit

Just to be sure: delete the complete luatex cache files per hand and retry.

Same here, but 'find' is case sensitive. If you search for "*Antykwa*"
you will also find the related otf files.

As I wrote, you get this cryptic error message if no default math font
is found.

Which is already wrong, afaik. It should *not* be looking for a 
typescript file, because the typescript 'antykwa' has already been set
up in type-otf.mkiv (it *did* load that file, I trust?).

Sure. As I wrote above, there should not *be* any typescript file, and 
the actual fonts are named *antt*, not '*antykwa*'

> And finally, the unexplained cambria crash?

Not looked at that yet, and it is usually unwise to attempt to fix two 
problems at the same time, but my first guess in that case is simply 
that you have not installed the font. I get:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --name cambria\* --all

cambria             cambria       cambria.ttc   index:  1
cambriamath         cambriamath   cambria.ttc   index:  0
cambriamathnormal   cambriamath   cambria.ttc   index:  0
cambrianormal       cambria       cambria.ttc   index:  1

$ luatools cambria.ttc
/home/taco/texmf/fonts/truetype/cambria.ttc

> For the sake of completeness

Have you posted a full log yet? If not, perhaps that is wise (otherwise
I missed it).

The file type-otf.mkiv is in the base directory and contains typescriptcollection antykwa.

changing to \setupbodyfont[antt] now produces:
files           > readfile > asked name: 'antt', not found

I did context --make en: no type-otf.mkiv touched.
Then after that: context test and I find the lines:
fonts           > latin modern fonts are not preloaded
languages       > language en is active
(/Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-siz.mkiv) (/Users/hans/TeX/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv)

Thus I take it for granted that typeset.mkiv has been found by ConTeXt.

Hm… Running this one gives an empty return. That sounds bad I guess.
But why, isn't it in the distribution? I guessed ConTeXt will find it automatically in the system in case it is in the /usr/local/texlive location.
But I agree, best solve the problems one by one.
I append a compressed log, having ran make, context, and for completeness sake again the font reload.

\setupbodyfont expects the name of a typeface.

I saw from your terminal output that your context version is from july and a while ago you needed \usetypescript to use “Antykwa Torunska”.

\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska]
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

O, how wonderful is the internet-community. Indeed, that \usetypescript does the trick. Thanks, one problem less here!
I guess from Wolfgang's comment that newer vrsions of ConTeXt can do without the \usetypescript?

As for the cambria, I now see its name is has been typeset in boldface in the font book. And that solves that problem also, because the font is not here.

no, it depends, as it's part of a fallback sequence:

(1) manually defined typeface -> \usetypescript for relevant cases
(2) predefined typeface -> automatically chosen
(3) when no typescript -> loading type-<typeface>

etc

solved by Wolfgang :)

Because Microsoft is not in the habit of giving stuff away for free. As 
with all commercial fonts, there is a simple rule: do not use the 
typescript if you do not own the font.

Best wishes,

Fonts

[Cecil Westerhof]

Is there a list of the standard fonts to use? I found:
  serif
  regular
  roman
  sans
  support
  sansserif
  mono
  type
  teletype
  handwritten
  cmr
  mm
  rm

But none of them I find very pleasing. (And handwritten looks
different as the name suggest.) How can I find out which fonts I can
use?

With your list you can only switch to a different style of a typeface
but to get a different font you need e.g. \setupbodyfont[palatino].

This is a (uncomplete) list of the predefined typefaces in context,
to switch to one of them you have to take the name after the bullet
and load it with \setupbodyfont:

Note: all names in the same line are synonyms for the same typeface


Latin Modern
------------

• modern

• modernvariable, modern-variable
• modernvariablelight, modern-variable-light
• modern-mono
• modern-base-mono

TeX Gyre
--------

• schoolbook, schola
• bookman, bonum
• chancery, chorus
• helvetica, heros

• courier, cursor

Antykwa Torunska
----------------

• antykwa-torunska
• antykwa-torunska-light
• antykwa-torunska-cond
• antykwa-torunska-lightcond

Antykwa Poltawskiego
--------------------

• antykwa-poltawskiego

You can list all local availble fonts with:

I have to agree to Andreas... i just updated to the actual beta (for the 
math examples). Now mtxrun answers with following statement:

...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-otp.lua:512: attempt to call

Tried all that on a fresh install of texlive 2010. Here are the 
results, or lack thereof:
------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-3.1$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
MTXrun | unknown script 'fonts.lua' or 'mtx-fonts.lua'

OSFONTDIR='/usr/local/share/fonts;/home/safe/.fonts'

Try to run luatools --generate first to generate/update file database.
Also, if you are only interested in plain, you may try luatotfload and
brothers.

It says clearly "unknown script" (i.e. "not found"), nothing to do  
with fonts.

I guess you didn't set TEXMFOS and/or TEXROOT. Mine (with minimals'  
setuptex) are:

TEXMFOS=/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-intel
TEXROOT=/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex

Don't know if these are necessary:

OWNPATH=/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex
ARGPATH=/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex
SCRIPTPATH=/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/setuptex

I've also TEXMFOS in my PATH.

(Since I don't use TeX Live I can't help you further.)

Then don't try to use PlainTeX ;-)

Well I have been typesetting books in plain tex and pdftex for a 
decade or more. Supposedly luatex is a superset of pdftex that makes 
finding fonts easier and eliminates the generation of tmf files. But I 
seem to be sinking into a deeper swamp.

Here is the base problem. All other publishing related programs on my 
system will
 a) look in /usr/share/fonts and 
b) list the fonts fond there in a window when selecting fonts. 

Laying aside b) for the moment it would be nice if some form of TeX 
(preferably not LaTeX) would join the party and find Type1, TTF and OTF 
fonts in the system standard location. Gimp does this, Scribus does 
this, Inkscape does this, Open Office Writer does this and so on.  
Luatex supposedly does this.  But getting Luatex to work on a new 
standard distro , texlive 2010, seems to be a game of whackamole. 
I tried comp.text.tex but when no one there seemed to have the right 
answers and many of the names mentioned in the documentation were 
gurus here I thought I would ask how to get the luatex business set 
up.

My goal is to use the stuff myself of course but also to describe how 
to do it in a book I am writing on Free Publishing Software.  It does 
not appear that Luatex is suitable for a newbie to set up. Remember, 
the competition consists of programs where you download and install 
the program and font finding is automatic. I write for an impatient 
audience who want to have it all just work without a lot of 
experimentation and fuss and feathers. There does not yet seem to be a 
reliable single set of instructions for installing Luatex and setting 
it up properly.  When there is I will revisit the program.

Thanks for helping and sorry to have wasted your time.

  Not if you use plain TeX.  Unlike XeTeX, LuaTeX cannot find or use any
more fonts than pdfTeX does.  You need additional macros, that are
present in ConTeXt, but in neither LaTeX nor (obviously) plain TeX.  You
can, though, use the luaotfload package with LuaLaTeX as well as (I
think) plain LuaTeX, but Khaled should be able to tell you more about
that.

If you all what you want is plain TeX, then why you are looking for
ConTeXt solutions, I mean you don't need ConTeXt nor ConTeXt file
locating system (which does not use kpathsea) to use plain format.

The issue you have is because your ConTeXt MkIV is not properly setup
yet (true for fresh TeXLive 2010 installs). You need to run `luatools
-generate` to generate the file database (used to locating files,
similar to running texhash and likes, but TeXLive scripts does not run
it by default). Then you need to set your system font paths, by setting
OSFONTDIR, and ConTeXt will then be able find system fonts.

However, you don't need any of then to use system fonts with plain,
there are already packages for this (based on dome of ConTeXt code, but
adapted to be self contained and ConTeXt independent).

A small test file would be:

\input luaotfload.sty % works for plain despite the .sty
\font\pagella={name:TeX Gyre Pagella:script=latn;+onum} at 10pt
\font\termes={file:texgyretermes-regular.otf:script=latn} at 10pt
\pagella some text 12345\par
\termes other text
\bye

This should work out of box on texlive (at first run it will take some
time building font database). If it does not work, it is a bug.

For LaTeX, just check fontspec documentation, and there is a
lualatex-dev list on CTAN, and luatex list for general, non-ConTeXt
questions.

 Khaled

Now that works! I'll try it on my XP partition also to see how well I 
fare.  And I need to fiddle with some non-Gyre fonts as well. 

You mentioned building a database, and yes that took some time. Is 
there a way to have it scan fonts in /usr/share/fonts as well?

We are getting close! Thanks for your help.

That works for OTF fonts in /usr/share/fonts/OTF  and TTF in 
/usr/share/fonts/TTF but apparently not for Type1 fonts in 
/usr/share/fonts/Type1. The line below confuses the system:

\font\barr={file:AGaramond-Regular.pfb} at 30bp

Here is the error message:
argument #2 to 'find_file' (invalid option 'pfb').

I tried it with afm and no suffix at all but they didn't work either. 


What is the magic formula for Type1?

Right now, luaotfload does not support Type1 fonts, you have to load them
through the old TFM mechanism (the same way as in PDFTeX, nothing
changed in this area). But since this is the second request to support
Type1 fonts, I might try to steal some more code from ConTeXt that deal
with Type1 fonts, but I'm bit busy now with my fonts.

John:
For ConTeXt you need AFM files to use Type1; I guess that will become  
the same for luaotfload.

the main reason why afm loading is not in the generic code is that it's 
most likely to be incompatible; context always used the afm approach 
(via texfont) while latex has relied on the prebuilt tfm files, and they 
use different metrics geared at latex (things are different for the gyre 
fonts but one would use the otf files there). There is not that much to 
gain as most type one fonts are rather incomplete.

By default on Linux it will attempt to read /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and
detect system font directories, so /usr/share/fonts (and ~/.fonts)
should work, you can override this by explicitly setting OSFONTDIR, in
this case it will only search the specified directories (it is a
regular kpathsea variable).

A bit off topic:
you can consider minimals & metatex.tex with mkiv (hence not texlive);
it should build a (sort of) plain tex with luatex .

See
tex/context/base/metatex.tex
but a bit of experience is required, I believe.

[Jörg Hagmann]

The fonts (linlibertine and gentium) I installed (and which worked) on 
my ubuntu minimals don't work any more. I can't see any difference 
between the appropriate files on my mac (where they work) and the linux 
machine. Maybe somebody can point out the problem based on the message 
below -- I would prefer not to get reacquainted with the font mess (no 
time).
I updated the minimals and remade formats. I am using mkII.

Thanks for the hint.  uplr8... are Palatino fonts, and I have palatino 
as the math-font in my typescript.
Copying them from the mac to the linux setup (where they have gone? with 
an update? -- my Mac version is old!) did the trick.

Thanks again, Jörg

Yes, the maps should be contained, I simply forgot to include them. Will fix
that tonight.
And I decided to provide everything for ec, texnansi, tex256 and qx
encoding.

What's the functional difference between ec and tex256? What good is it 
to generate both?

There doesn't seem to be a functional difference between ec and tex256,
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes states only that tex256
uses Adobe character names, and I thought it would be nice, but didn't
really think much... ;-)

Ok, this is fixed now.
I just uploaded some more fonts; I guess I should add better  
information about contained variants and a nice preview...

Hm, thanks for the link, but I don't find this font very interesting.  
Do you?

I've a huge collection of fonts, and I guess I should finally update  
the ConTeXt font packages on my homepage and add some nice freeware  
fonts that aren't online anymore (or do you know a link of Apostrophe  
Lab?).

Hrm. Not normally, but as I've been tessellating Arabesque borders 
lately, the snow font did appeal to me on that level.

Just checked:

$ unzip -l /tmp/apostrophe-covington.zip | grep map

=> Nothing. No map file in your zip ?

What about Apostrophic Labs' very nice "Hard Talk" (http:// 
www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=hard_talk) and "Maskalin" (http:// 
www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=maskalin), Font Environment's "20

designers/klein05/pic06/celtish_parts.htm) and "Roots of  
Matisse" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein/Fonteria_CD/ 
pages/roots.htm)?

On both websites there is a wealth of free typefaces, in particular  
Klein's site has an overwhelming abundance, which takes days to  
explore - even nice are his textfonts "Faustant" (http:// 
moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/faustant.htm) and  
"FaustItalic" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/

There is a user group font cd project going on (planned launch eurotex 
2006). Any input/help is welcome.

http://fontcd.gust.org.pl/FrontPage

you can add links to free fonts there (on the links page)

- we need to make sure that they may be redistributed by user groups
- we need metrics and such

Thank you for the links, I'll look into it.
(But I don't think I'll do the masks/faces, I can't imagine any use  
for them. Or do you need them?)
BTW the pirate stuff by Klein is nice, I guess that'll make a  
package, arr matey!

I'm thinking about utilizing border fonts and how to make automatic  
frames for use with \framed (I guess that's still too hard for me,  
but let's see...)

if needed i can add something like Border to supp-fun or so ...

Hello,

I moved on to texfont.pl and did this:

perl
c:\TeXLive\texmf-var\context\perltk\texfont.pl --fontroot=c:/TeXLive/texmf-v
ar --sourcepath=c:/tmp --vendor=adobe --collection=times --makepath --instal
l

first, I made sure the afm/pfb files were in c:\temp

I got very many "bad command or file name" errors, for instance after
"extending map file:
c:\TeXLive\texmf-var\pdftex\config\texnansi-adobe-times.map

and I got a .tex file called texnansi-adobe-times.tex which gave very many
errors. I can post the log file here but I wa sunable to "caprure" the many
errors in the results of texfont.pl. There was no log file written and if I
did >0.log than this file was 0 bytes long.

Well, I at least qualified for trying it myself first. Now I'm done.

Just to be sure: c:/tmp and c:\temp are actually the same directory?

I can't help much with a MS Windows platform. What happens when you type
"c:\TeXLive\texmf-var\context\perltk\texfont.pl --help"? Is there some
special procedure for running perl programs on Windows?

Is the c:\TeXLive directory somehow write-protected or owned by another
user?

Do you get the same errors if you use "--fontroot=(some private
directory)", say "texmf" in your home directory?

Re: fonts

[Frans Goddijn]

Yes that was a typo on my behalf, it's c:/tmp and the perl program neatly
copied the afm's and pfb's but in between all those actions there were
plenty of error messages also flashing over my screen...

I've never had problems with perl before... Maybe Hans can explain.

No this laptop is just Windows98 without any fancy security.

I tried it in the same test directory where the batchfile is, same amount of
errors.

Never mind, at least I can say I did try it honestly myself. I'll use
Computer Modern for the time being and I've asked a TeX friend with more
experience than I have to see if he can have a go at it which he probably
will.

Groet!

I catched the error: The font that I tried to install was made with 
Fontographer on a Mac, and the AFM had Mac-linefeeds.
Corrected it with a little bit of Perl, and installing works... (But I needed 
a couple of hours to find this.)

Today I was tinkering around with another font installation. I've the 
impression that the typescript concept doesn't work like it should:

(TeX Live 6 with pdfeTeX 1.0 unofficial, latest beta of ConTeXt, WinNT 4)

-- Runtime loading of fontmaps seems to have no effect -- pdftex finds fonts 
only if the map is in pdftex.cfg

-- \definetypeface with 6 parameters works, but not the definition via 
"nested" typescripts -- it ends up with "TeX capacity exceeded" after a long 
list of messages, that look like a recursion.

I'll test it more accurately tomorrow (left my laptop at work).

Greetlings from the Hraban! ;-)

are you sure that you have

   \autoloadmapfilestrue

set?

ok, normally recursion should not occur (never encountered that so far) so 
i'm curious,

guess what, i ran into the same error, with an univers from linotype, pc 
version

[thanks to your debugging it took me less than a minute to fix 'm]

Perhaps you are the only ones trying to install these fonts under Win32? ;)

Hi, 

There is a macro qualified as experimental called "\switchstyleonly" that
can be used like: 

  \bf \switchstyleonly\ss

where \ss is an argument to \switchstyleonly. This macro is defined in
font-ini

However, the following alternative is more comnforming the interface 

\unprotect 

\definecomplexorsimple\switchstyleonly

\def\simpleswitchstyleonly#1%
  {\complexswitchstyleonly[\strippedcsname#1]}

\def\complexswitchstyleonly[#1]% final version
  {\let\savedfontalternative=\fontalternative
   \getvalue{\getvalue{\@shortstyle@#1}}%
   \getvalue{\savedfontalternative}}

\protect 

You can put this in cont-new.tex and use it as: 

{\bf text \switchstyleonly\ss text}            % dirty but [] save
{\bf text \switchstyleonly[ss]text}
{\sl text \switchstyleonly[sansserif]text}

This may solve the problems with switching to ss in bold discussed earlier.
I must admit that i never used it and had forgotten about this command -)

You should add the lines: 

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

to a file calles pdftex.map or whatever.map, 

and add 

  +map whatever.map 

to pdftex.cfg. 

The map files go into pdftex/config

[more on this in the pdftex manual at our site]

this was a good hint:
The problem was a missing "+" #-/
-> On installation I added "map context.map"
to the file, and I think, that was
overwriting the "pdftex.map"-mapping,
leaving nothing...
Adding the "+" to "map" solved everything,
i.e. the font problem.

Hi all, 

Somehow I cannot duplicate the \SS problem here. I uploaded a
new version which has the {} added and a few bugs fixed (that
probably went unnoticed -). 

When I'm back, I'll look into the details (like extensions
needed for the math module).
