fonts are driving me crazy!

[Richard Hensh]

Ok, I'm having problems with the command

\setupbodyfont
	[ptm,11pt]

I don't even know where to begin. A while back I experimented with commands
such as

\loadmapfile[texnansi-almani-desyre.map]
\definefontsynonym[Desyrel][desyrel][encoding=texnansi]
\ruledhbox{\definedfont[desyrel at 24pt]The Desyre Font}

After a bit of troubleshooting, these worked just fine. Now, I get messages
such as

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

makemf --verbose desyrel

That's the first problem. Now for the second.

It's as if my paths are all screwed up but I don't even know where to begin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, I've done the obvious things like
recompile and refresh the filename db (I'm using MikTeX 2.1). I suspect it
has something to do with cont-sys.tex but I can't be sure.

thanks

is there a font names desyrel.tfm on your system?

does the rather low level

\font\crap=desyrel at 24pt

work? If  not, it looks like your font paths are wrong.

can it be that you have a file texnansi-desyrel.tfm? If so, then there is a 
mapping from desyrel->texnansi-desyrel missing
