Has anyone succeeded in getting dvips working for Latin Modern? If I install 
lmr to psfonts.map (with updmap)

=======================
ec-lmr12 LMRoman12-Regular <ec-lm.enc <lmr12.pfb

%etc.
=======================

and do

=========test-lmr=========
% output=dvi interface=en

\starttext

This is a test of dvips and Latin Modern. 1234

\stoptext
=======================

dvips does not complain:

=======================
This is dvips(k) 5.94b Copyright 2004 Radical Eye Software 
(www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2005.04.16:1112' -> test-lmr.ps
<texc.pro><ec-lm.enc><texps.pro>. <lmr12.pfb>[1]
=======================

but ghostview does not display anything.

On the other hand, dvips seems to work with fonts (like urw Garamond) that 
contain only 256 characters. Now e.g. lmr12.pfb contains more (which is why we 
can get e.g. old style numerals without virtual fonts there), but it seems to 
be at the cost of dvips (based on my experiments and investigations). (Thank 
goodness dvipdfmx still works!)

Is dvips obsolete as far as ConTeXt is concerned?
