ConTeXt presentation: Lucida Bright font missing!

ConTeXt presentation: Lucida Bright font missing!

[g.verhaag]

Hoi,

By the way problem with running texexec solved! Well not really, because I 
installed everything new from Tex Live (6b) as suggested by Hans. Now 
everything is running again!

I wanted to try making a presentation using ConTeXt, and started as described 
in the "TeX as presentation tool" by Hans Hagen. Well my system keeps 
complaining about missing lbr fonts. It is suggested to switch to PostScript 
fonts by putting the \definefilesynonym [font-lbr] [font-pos] line in a 
cont-sys.tex file, in case the Lucida Bright fonts are missing. Okay, but my 
system doesn't have such a file. In case I've to create one, where does it go?

Am I right in saying that the Lucida Bright fonts are not available from the 
TeX-Live CD? They are probably not available for free, are they? 

Regards,
	Geert Verhaag

I've been curious about this for a bit, perhaps because I'm using OS X / 
OmniWeb for its nice typographic rendering, but when I click on the 'big 
picture' link I just get a PDF with a bunch of other links in it that 
point to files that aren't anywhere to be found. Is this thing meant to 
be viewed embeded in a browser? are there files missing that is should 
also download, etc?

eh, the other files are really there, so you need to run it in the browser 
indeed (or download the files or do a wget *.pdf

I believe you :)
Yes, the PDF plugin doesn't work w/ OS X yet, best i've been able to do 
it, so I've resorted to doing it manually.
Sadly, since, in some cases, the only links to some of the files are in 
the PDF files it means going through them and manually doing the
wget. I did a recursive wget -r -A.pdf ... and got eveything that is 
linked to... but the show-*.pdf files aren't linked from anywhere but in 
the PDF.

I noticed a seeming set of broken links in the present demos... mainly 
those that look like they should be in general/source/s-pre-*

In show-pre.pdf all of the 'listing' links point to PDFs in 
general/sources, but alas, I don't see them:

% wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/sources/s-pre-03.pdf
--22:20:23--  http://www.pragma-ade.com/sources/s-pre-03.pdf
            => `s-pre-03.pdf'
Resolving www.pragma-ade.com... done.

I'll let you know if I find others...

probably ok as long as you don't redistribute the fonts
