Font problems when using dvips

["Maarten Wisse" <pmw4197@hotmail.com>]

Hi ConTeXt experts,

It was a long time ago that I used ConTeXt, but now I'm back to ConTeXt for 
making a birth announcement. No don't congratulate me, because one should do 
this actually before the baby is there :-)

Ok, I use a Bitstream font Kabel/Cable and I've made the necessary font 
files using fontinst with \latinfamily command. Then I do the following in 
my ConTeXt files:

\definefontsynonym [Kabel-Light]                [bkbr8t]  [encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [Kabel-Light]

For dvips and pdftex, I do the following in bkb.map:
bkbr8r Geometric-LightC "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <bkbm8a.pfb

This I do for all the different variants of the font, of course. It works 
perfectly when making pdf files with PDFeTeX 13d. All accented characters 
and an en-dash which are on the card appear correctly. However, when trying 
to compile to dvi and then to dvips, accents and en-dash disappear. I 
already tried two alternatives:

1. Change bkbr8t in the \definefontsynonym command to bkbr8r and change 
encoding to [encoding=texnansi].
2. change bkbr8r in the bkb.map file to bkbr8t and leaving the ConTeXt files 
unmodified. In this case, I do an upd.map rerun of course, to get the 
modifications into psfonts.map and pdftex.map

Neither of these works. Does anyone know what is wrong?

My platform: RedHat 7.0 with teTeX 1.0.7

Thanks in advance,

Maarten Wisse
