Hi, Hans Thank you for your example. I just figured out that once PDF cannot find the specified font, it will look for a truetype font which has the similar font metrics. Now I know what to do and has just succeeded: First, I install a truetype font to ConTeXt---by using texfont of course---so that ConTeXt can use it; Then specify the field's textFont attribution to the truetype font name; Finally, it looks all great. I think it should work on Type1 fonts too. I hope I can attach all .ttf, .tfm files to you, but it seems that the mailing list has a 40K limitation. -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.
