Dear gang,
Does anyone understand the following font error? The file used to work for
over a year till I installed the latest ConTeXt files:
=======================================
! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with
scalable
fonts.
\actualshipout ... \box \postponedcontent \box 0}}
\else \message
{[\ifarrang...

<argument> ...\fi \else \the \defaultstreamoutput
\fi
...
l.70
=======================================
The problem with making a sample file is that it involves a non-standard
font (minion expert) with a lot of setup and so may be difficult to
emulate. Indeed, my entire MinionProOpticals setup does not work at all
anymore.
A clue: Another file gives in the log:
=========================================
pdfTeX warning: pdftex.exe (file texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh):
Font
texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh at 720 not found
=========================================
But the tfm texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh is found in
\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\tfm\adobe\minion
and the vf in
\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\vf\adobe\minion
Please help!
Best
Idris

It seems there is a problem with the map file for your MinionPro font:
pdftex clearly believes it is a metafont bitmap instead of a scalable
font, and that only happens if it does not have the proper font map
information.

I see, any ideas on what I should do?
I was actually thinking about just starting over again from scratch,
reinstalling ConTeXt, and reinstalling all my auxilliary fonts etc. from
scratch but that's a lot of work...

First, find it. Then make sure you have a \loadmapfile statement
with the right filename. Then verify that kpsewhich can find the
map file by running 'kpsewhich <filename>'. After all that,
check that ConTeXt actually reads a map file, by that name, and
that it is the right one (by checking the screen output).
Somewhere along this chain of events, it should start working, or
an error should become obvious.
Best, Taco

well, since you have luatex running ... in a while you can kick out tfm and map files since context mkiv can use the afm files and do map lines on the fly

There must be an error or some new feature in recent releases of ConTeXt
that's causing this. I backed up to ConTeXt2006-12-07, only a month ago,
and everything works fine. I checked; typescripts are loading mapfiles eg
\loadmapfile[texnansi-axow-adobe-minion.map]
and the mapfiles are indeed there eg
\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\map\pdftex\context
As for tfm's, eg
texnansi-axow-MinionPro-Regular.tfm
is in
\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\tfm\adobe\minion
Has the ConTeXt TDS changed? This must be a new ConTeXt bug/feature; I
don't know which.
Oh Please, please, please don't make me rebuild this complicated font
setup from scratch!
:-)
Best
Idris

I eagerly look forward to the day when the tfm/256-enc anachronisms are
gone for good ;-)

I do think Context itself has not changed other than what I
already posted.
Can you wrap me up a zip file (offlist) with source + log + pdf?
