Hans,
The file type-enc has a typescript shown below

\starttypescript [berry] [ec]

\setupencoding[default=ec]

\definefontsynonym [ec-utmr8a]                 [utmr8t]  [encoding=ec]

....many more similar lines...

\stoptypescript

The logic of these lines is obscured from me
texfont --enco=ec --batch type-tmf.dat
creates the files ec-utmr8a.tfm and there are no utmr8t files on my machine.

Commenting out all of the \definefontsynonym lines in this typescript
enables my fonts to work properly?

TIA
-- 
Nigel

what happens in this typescript is that it maps (when available) tex live 
names onto the ec-* and alike ones, so

\usetypescript[berry][ec]

is actually fooling context

(i sometimes really wonder how people use fonts, esp since it looks like 
many fonts are not in all distributions or sometimes not entirely complete; 
this is one reason why i generate metrics myself)
