Here is what I did: on Saturday I tried to answer David Rogers' question and so typeset an example file I had, before sending him. Unfortunately everything went wrong for some reasons and so I gave up. After Adam's and Hans' suggestion right this afternoon, I uninstalled my gwTeX, as well as ConTeXt and reinstalled everything anew. I did not, and I do not have pdftex.map in */fonts/map/*/context/ and nevertheless when I tried to typeset my minimal sample file: % times-bad.tex \usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding] %\setupbodyfont [postscript] % with or without this line \usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext on my "virgin" installation, something goes wrong and the log shows the following: [...snip...] Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+14/72 --dpi 86 ptmr8r mktexpk: Running gsftopk ptmr8r 86 gsftopk(k) version 1.19.2 Process aborted /813 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [11] [12] [14] [15] [16] [17] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41Terminated ("Terminated" because I aborted the process). I am not at all familiar with mktexpk (I even ignored its exisetnce up to now...), but the option --bpdi 72 makes me think it is building a "72 dots per inch" font which we all hate, even after magnification --mag 1+14/72... I should also say that this does not infer with math fonts which appear correctly as one may see from the PDF attachments I sent (and which went finally through the list's moderator).
