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. Duncan
