ConTeXt is looking for fonts with names that are totally unusual compared to the ordinary TeX (LaTeX) System. Most TeX systems (and I guess GW TeX as well) support psnfss, the postscript font system to be used with latex. That means, that you should have fonts named in a cryptic way "pplr8r.tfm" or such. ConTeXt on the other hand looks for fontnames like "8r-uplr8a.tfm". Almost no one has a font named like this on their system. So ConTeXt provides a mapping (remember the command \usetypescript[berry][\defaultencoding]?) that maps from 8r-uplr8a.tfm to uplr8r.tfm. But this will fail on many TeX systems, since there is no such file. (It works on TeXlive7.) ConTeXt should in this case rather map to pplr8r.tfm, which is available on all psnfss systems (i.e. all LaTeX ready systems). I should send Hans a different mapping to go into the distribution. I am still undecided how to name it. Perhaps \usetypescript[psnfss][..]? Or \...[ADOBEkb] as in updmap.cfg? Or adobekb (lowercase)? Patrick
