I hope that this will become better when pdftex can load map files at each page. \setupencoding [\s!default=texnansi] \autoloadmapfilestrue \preloadmapfile [original-ams-cmr] \preloadmapfile [original-ams-euler] \preloadmapfile [original-ams-logo] \preloadmapfile [il2-ams-cmr] \preloadmapfile [pl0-ams-cmr] \usesymbols [nav,mvs] % [eur] \setupsymbolset [navigation 1] \setupinteraction [\c!symboolset=navigation 1] Then, my map file looks like: map psclean.map and this file has no full names and looks like psfonts.map : Math1 1. what should pdftex.map contain?

Also, a better way for overloading is to have new ones, like "mytypescripts.tex" on tex/context/user and register that one by \usetypescriptfile[mytypescripts] in you cont-sys.tex file; for projects, here we put a file typeface.tex in each project path. >In retrospect, replacing the ber names with the actual font names (e.g., >NimbusRomNo9L-Medi instead of utmb8a) might have been the best approach. >Since the font files are stored under directories with the vendor name, >the fact that the ber names code for vendor seems redundant.

I have considered that but don't know enough of those names -) when we have a good working system, we may convince fabrice and sebastian .... >Here is how I installed the URW fonts on a unix system with ksh (note >that helvetic might better have been helvetica) with texnansi (the >default) encoding: Maybe you should communicate this with Patrick, since he wants to make some font tools Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
