Hi Hans, thanks for the information. I changed my test document accordingly and deleted obsolete parts from the typescript. When I use the "builtInPostscript" or the "reencodedPostscript" as the sole body font then the document is typeset correctly. Yet, if I try to switch the family for example to the reencodedPostscript then the text that follows after the switch does not appear in the created PDF document. Do you have an idea? --Stefan \enableregime[il1] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \setupoutput[pdftex] \pdfoptionpdfminorversion 4 \usetypescriptfile[smallpdf.tex] \definetypeface [builtInPostscript] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec] \definetypeface [builtInPostscript] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [encoding=ec] \definetypeface [builtInPostscript] [tt] [mono] [courier] [default] [encoding=ec] %\definetypeface [builtInPostscript] [mm] [math] [times] [default] \usetypescript[reencode][texnansi][texnansi] \definetypeface [reencodedPostscript] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [reencodedPostscript] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [reencodedPostscript] [tt] [mono] [courier] [default] [encoding=texnansi] %\definetypeface [reencodedPostscript] [mm] [math] [times] [default] \setupbodyfont[builtInPostscript,sans,15pt] \mainlanguage[de] \setupheadertexts[] \def\Show{This is a test. 45\char176 \quotedblbase äöüßÄÖÜ\quotedblleft} \def\ShowVariants{\Show\par{\bf\Show}\par{\it\Show}\par{\bi\Show}\par} \starttext\pdfmapfile{+smallpdf.map} {\ss Helvetica\par\ShowVariants} {\rm Times-Roman\par\ShowVariants} {\tt Courier\par\ShowVariants} \reencodedPostscript {\ss Helvetica\par\ShowVariants} {\rm Times-Roman\par\ShowVariants} {\tt Courier\par\ShowVariants} \stoptext
