Boy, is this list helpful or what!
I have a new question. When I set the document font to Times using
\setupbodyfont[ber,pos,12pt] the resultant PDF files (texexec --pdf
filename) contains an embedded version of NimbusRomNo9L. Is there any
way I can get it to use the native PostScript Times without embedding a
subset. This would help to save space on smaller documents.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the kludge I came up with: go into the
pdftex\config\psfonts.map file and change the entries for "utmr8" to
Times-Roman, and don't include the "<ptmr8r.pfb", entry, which would
cause the font to be embedded. Now my document is 1/4 of its original
size.

but ... be prepared for bad rendering in teh future since font metrics
change and therefore your metrics may not match future build in times
instances (which is why i alway sembed)
