Hello!

Thank you for your reply. Here is some more information about the font
problem.

> without problems; these contain times, and helvetica alternatives

These fonts are installed so that pdfTeX has access to them, i.e.
\usepackage{txfonts} or \usepackage{times} work fine in LaTeX. (The fonts
are the URW counterparts to the Base14 fonts.)

> does \setupbodyfont[ber,pos] work on your machine?

Nope. See transcript below. As far as I understand, it tries to find Times
font metrics without success.

Thank you for your help!

- Ville
