If I install lmr to psfonts.map (with updmap) ======================= ec-lmr12 LMRoman12-Regular test-lmr.ps . [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?
