Compiling the following:

Re: fonts -- installation

[Rob Ermers]

Dear Friends,

Installing a simple font under Context has been without results sofar. 
Under latex I can generate a perfect ps file (with dvips), but I 
recently found out that the dvi reader (Yap) cannot locate a tfm file 
and fails to generate pk files, even when I generate the pk files and 
put them in the appropriate places.

This may be the reason Context cannot generate correct dvi files nor pdf 
files, but I am not sure of course. (Needless to say that I update 
everytime with Miktex.)

I am now trying to install under Context a font that should work right 
out of the box: bookman. This font I cannot get to work either. See 
below the test file and the log file. The log file does give any error 
message; it simply does not load bookman (see the line: 
<J:\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\bluesky\cm\cmr10.pfb>). Under Latex I get 
perfect dvi and pdf files.

Does anyone have a clue? My eventual goal is, of course, to learn how to 
install a new font.

Kind regards,

Robert Ermers

in font-bfm, change the \dosetskewchar lines into:

   \dosetskewchar\mifam\defaultskewcharmi
   \dosetskewchar\syfam\defaultskewcharsy

(i added an 'fam' argument to \dosetskewchar some time ago, but didn't change 
these lines for bold math)
