I'd like to get some Postscript Type1 fonts working with MK IV
(installed via the minimals under Linux). I placed the *.pfb fonts
in ~/.fonts and did:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*
...but the output doesn't show any of the *.pfb fonts. The *.ttf fonts
installed alongside them in ~/.fonts do show up, and I can create PDFs
with those ttf fonts using the `context` command, but I'm not sure how
to proceed with the Postscript fonts.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

ConTeXt needs also the afm files for type 1 fonts.

put the afm files in the tree as well
- either in the afm subtree (with pfb's in the type1 subtree)
- or in the data tree (alongside pfb's)
then run mtxrun --generate

Thanks -- I put a SabonLT-Roman.afm and a SabonLT-Roman.pfb into
~/.fonts and got things working.
But I'm having a heck of a time with another font family. It's a PS
Type1 font for Mac, and I've tried all sorts of things in attempting
to generate .pfb & .afm files from the original Mac PS Type1 fonts ...
fontforge, fondu, type1afm, font2afm ... on the Mac & on my Linux box.
But I can't get an afm/pfb combo that works. I've pasted the output of
a `context` command below (changed the font name here as I don't think
its license allows for converting it).
Is it inherently tricky to get Type1 PS Mac fonts working with ConTeXt
& luatex on Linux? I'm trying to avoid spending another $300 for some
fonts I already purchased but can no longer use (not on a Mac much any
more). I was able to use these *.pfb fonts with LaTeX + xetex in the
past under Linux.
Also, the SabonLT-Roman.afm file that came from Linotype has a section
titled "StartKernData", but .afm files generated using type1afm,
fontforge, font2afm, etc. have no kerning section. Would using such
.afm files cause sub-standard output with regard to kerning?
Any suggestions/clarifications much appreciated,
John

Yes. If the pfb font versions match, you should be able use the afm
from Linotype.

Why the odd afm name? Is there a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb ?
If there is, context cannot find it, and that is where this fatal
message comes from:

There is a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb. The odd name has to do
with me replacing the real font name with a made-up name in what I
pasted into my email to the list. Maybe that's silly/overly-cautious
... but I think the license for that font doesn't allow converting it
from a Mac PS font to a (Win?) PS font, generating afm files from it
with type1afm, etc. Anyhow, to re-cap, I did:
* go to the iMac & find a font named "SomeMacintoshPSfont"
* use Fontforge to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb"
* use the type1afm utility to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.afm"
* put these pfb & afm files in the ~/.fonts directory on Linux box
* run `mtxrun --generate`
* run `mtxrun --script fonts --reload`
* view output of `mtxrun --script fonts --list --all` to get names
for use in typscript.
But it doesn't work for some reason...

There were some issues earlier this week with fonts in ~/.fonts
not being found, and I don't recall what was going on exactly.
But definitely, you can try to put the files in
<texmf>/fonts/data
and see if that helps (even if you do that just for testing).
Best wishes,
Taco

FontForge can load mac type1 kerning, see:
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/faq.html#FOND-kern
I think after that generating a pfb font will also generate an afm file
as well.

Thanks, useful information linked there:
"The mac stored kerning information in the FOND resource associated
with a bitmap font (it is not stored in the file with the postscript
font). If you wish kerning data for a mac postscript font, you must
find a font file containing a bitmap font with the same family and
style as the postscript."
Reading this, I went into the directory of the font in question,
found the *.bmap file and ran `fondu -afm` on it. This created afm files
for all the fonts in that family, each file including a "StartKernData"
section with plenty of kerning data.
So I feel closer...at least I know how to create afm files that
include kerning data. But unfortunately, I still can't get these
fonts to work with ConTeXt. It must have something to do with the
font itself, as the SabonLT-Roman.afm and SabonLT-Roman.pfb I placed
in the ~/.fonts directory are working fine.

Try Taco's suggestion, I myself got unpredictable results with ~/.fonts,
try instead ~/texmf/fonts/{afm,type1} or even ~/texmf/fonts/data

Thanks! This solved my problem:
% mkdir -p ~/texmf/fonts/data
% mv *.{pfb,afm} ~/texmf/fonts/data
% export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;$HOME/texmf/fonts/data"
Or, to keep all fonts under ~/.fonts , this also works:
% mkdir -p ~/.fonts/tex
% mv *.{pfb,afm} ~/.fonts/tex
% mkdir -p ~/texmf/fonts
% ln -s ~/.fonts/tex ~/texmf/fonts/data
% export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts"
For some reason I was trying $HOME/context/tex/texmf/fonts/data
previously, which didn't work. But things are now working quite
nicely now -- thank you all.

John

We should try to find what is causing the erratic behavior of ~/.fonts

Perhaps it is all just because the default $OSFONTDIR does not contain
~/.fonts ? I tried this:
export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts:~/.fonts
and everything works as it should.
Best wishes,
Taco

Mine is:
export OSFONTDIR='$HOME/.fonts//:/usr/share/fonts//'

I think the OSFONTDIR is unnecessary here, context will seach ~/texmf
anyway.

Mine is (in setuptex)
OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts;"
export OSFONTDIR
I had some troubles with OSFONTDIR and opentype fonts in the past. Perhaps
I should use : and trailing // and test again.

I found that if $HOME/texmf/fonts/data was not explicitly included
in the OSFONTDIR environment variable, the fonts in that directory
did not show up.
Also, I tried a : and trailing // in the path as mentioned in another
post, but it made no difference.

John
