I found some more puzzling things. I write them here fore anybody who may be interested. :-) I tried to typeset a document using two font families: TrueType Gentium by SIL, and Adobe OpenType Myriad. First I converted Myriad to Type1 using fontforge, then I prepared metrics for all fonts with TeXFont using ec-lm encoding. I found this: (1) Any ConTeXt document produced by pdfetex 1.40.1 (even this one: \setupoutput[pdf] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext makes my GhostScript (gs Ghostscript 8.15.3 under SuSE Linux 10.1) die with this error: **** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table. **** The file has been damaged. This may have been caused **** by a problem while converting or transfering the file. **** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data. ERROR: /undefined in /BXlevel etc. However, if I make a ps-file out of it using AdobeReader, I can view/print it with my GhostScript. The newest Ghostscript (Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17)) doesn't write this error message but the rest of problems (see below) is the same. (2) When I typeset my document only with the Gentium font, or only with the Myriad font, or with a combination of the Gentium and LatinModern, or the Gentium and TrueType version of Myriad (made fontforge), the outcome is the same as (1). (3) If I try to combine TrueType Gentium and Type1 Myriad, my GhostScript failes to view/print it properly: strange letters appear in the text. I've got no idea what's wrong. By the way, my input regime is now utf8. Do you thing this is problem of ConTeXt, or pdfetex, or GhostScript? Whom should I tell it? Yours Michal Kvasnicka P.S. I apologize to all of you who are bothered by this topic.
