\usepackage{pslatex} equivalent for context

\usepackage{pslatex} equivalent for context

[frantisek holop]

hi there,

i was wondering if there was a quick and dirty equivalent for
latex's \usepackage{pslatex}

http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pslatex/#jh1c2c136f7e9809d3217b77eccac957d6:

	This is a small package that makes LaTeX default to `standard'
	PostScript fonts. It is basically a hacked merger of times.sty and
	mathptm.sty, from the psnfss suite of packages. You must have
	installed standard LaTeX (LaTeX2e) and psnfss PostScript fonts
	to use this package.

thanks.

Hmm, I think is obsolete as far as ConTeXt is concerned. Using typescripts  
one can define one's own relative sizing etc as well as set up  
times-helvetica in virtually any way you like. See showfont.pdf in the  
documentation.

Best wishes

\usetypescript[postscript][ec] %typescript name
\setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] % typeface name

That one is possible because of this in type-one.tex:

\starttypescript [postscript] [texnansi,ec,qx,t5,uc,8r]
    \definetypeface [postscript] [rm] [serif] [times]     [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
    \definetypeface [postscript] [ss] [sans]  [helvetica] [default]
[rscale=.9,encoding=\typescripttwo]
    \definetypeface [postscript] [tt] [mono]  [courier]   [default]
[rscale=1.1,encoding=\typescripttwo]
    \definetypeface [postscript] [mm] [math]  [times]     [default]
    \usemathcollection[default]
    \quittypescriptscanning
\stoptypescript

You can combine fonts "easily" like that.
