font tryout

["Kris Hermans" <KrisHermans@advalvas.be>]

Hi,

I have a MikTex 2.1 installation which I updated to the last Context. Now I
want to experiment with fonts. I read both documents on fonts (mfonts.pdf
and mtexfont.pdf), but these documents are not quite obvious for a newbie
like me.

>From the docs I figured out that I should be able to use the times font from
the vendor "urw", because all the necessary files (tfm, pfb and the like)
seem available. Also I looked in type-exa and type-map.tex, but I only have
a clue of what they mean.

Anyway I made a little test file where i use the postscript fonts:

\setupbodyfont[pos]

\starttext

Dit is een testje met het gebruik van fonts

\starttyping
public void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println("Hello World !");
}
\stoptyping

\stoptext

However, this fails for the following reason:

When I search in my distribution, I don't find the file ec-utmr8a.tmf, but I
do have the files:
utmr8c.tfm
utmr8r.tfm
utmr8t.tfm
utmr8c.vf
utmr8t.vf
utmr8.afm
utmr8.pfb
utmr8.pfm

any idea on what's wrong?

thanks in advance,
