How do I get postscript fonts to work?

How do I get postscript fonts to work?

[Philip Quaife]

With latest context (cont-en) teTeX and pdftex under linux,

All things currently tested work fine unless postscript fonts are selected

                \setupbodyfont[pos]

Then I get :
! Font \*12ptrmtf*=tir at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
\lastfontname ->tir at \scaledfont 

Which is correct, as it should be looking for pmtr???.tfm (which are  present)

What is at fault , context or pdftex ?
And more to the point, what do I change to get it going.

A cursory look at map files et al suggests that things should work.

thanks in advance.

you may try: \setupbodyfont[ber,pos] i.e. enable; the berry naming scheme 
[see cont-sys.rme]

i will upload a new beta in a couple of days along with a new texfont.pl; 
that way you can generate fonts yourself; with regards to times: i now use 
urw times by default since other times' are simply to fuzzy

if nothing helps, there is always a way to remap: 
\definefontsynonym[tir][ptrm..] but that's a last resort,
