I had to do two things to get ma-cb-en.tex to compile: 1. Make this change to: ma-cb-style.tex: \startnotmode[atpragma] \usetypescript[adobekb][8r,ec] \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt] \stopnotmode 2. Make this change to ma-cb-abbreviations.tex. \startenvironment ma-cb-abbreviations \usemodule[abr-01] On Nov 22, 2005, at 11:27 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > David Arnold wrote: > >> All, >> I was able to texfont the demofont and texfont the palatino and >> compiled test files for each.
