OK, what to do:

1. Run texfont on context/data/type-tmf.dat like this:

  texfont --encoding=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/share/texmf --batch type-tmf.dat

That should produce the right .tmf files.

2. In your cont-sys.tex (/usr/local/texmf/tex/context/cont-sys.tex)
   have only the following:

====================
% This seems to be Hans preferred encoding
\setupencoding[\s!default=texnansi]
====================

No other \usesetypescript, or \setupencoding should be present.

3. If you run this test file:

====================
\setupbodyfont
  [pos,10pt]

\starttext

hello world.

{\ss hello again!}

{\tt the end.}

\stoptext
====================

it should run fine, except pdf(e)tex complaining that it can't find
the fonts.

4. Add the following to pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg

====================
map +texnansi-bitstrea-charter.map
map +texnansi-public-antp.map
map +texnansi-public-antt.map
map +texnansi-urw-bookman.map
map +texnansi-urw-courier.map
map +texnansi-urw-helvetica.map
map +texnansi-urw-palatino.map
map +texnansi-urw-times.map
map +texnansi-urw-zapfchan.map
====================

These files should be in that directory if texfont has run correctly.

You can also use \autoloadmapfilestrue and put \loadmapfile in your
cont-sys it seems, but that gives you lots of warnings, so I don't
like that approach.


Let me know if you encounter any problem!
