Thank you very much, this solved the initial problem. (I'm not able to read
Chinese but Babelfish helped me understand what everything meant.)

Again very useful, thank you very much. I now have reached the following
stage:

I have the htsong.ttf TrueType font, a set of .tfm files generated from it,
and a set of .enc files to tie them together. I have added them all to my
texmf tree, along with the various recommended edits to the context/base
files, the .map files and so on. I ran texec --make and texhash without any
problem.

When I texexec a very small sample ConTeXt seems to be looking for a
different naming scheme for the files. I have generated a set of files
called

  gbsong01.tfm
  gbsong02.tfm
  ...
  gbsong94.tfm
  gbsongsl01.tfm
  ...
  gbsongsl94.tfm

but ConTeXt seems to rely on them being called

  gbsong81.tfm
  ...
  gbsongfe.tfm

and suchlike. I get lots of errors saying that the tfm files can't be found,
and then it starts trying to generate fonts using metafont, which is never
going to work...

Do I have to rename these files, or is there somewhere that I can edit to
change this dependency, or is my guess wrong and I actually have a different
problem?

Thanks very much. I have never used a TTF directly with pdftex before, I
hope it will work.
