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)
