Subject: Font problems (special characters, URW)
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 08:24:48 +0300 (EET DST)	[thread overview]

Hello!

I have a working TeX installation, everything seems to work fine with
LaTeX. However, I have some font problems with ConTeXt:

1. When I use local special characters (ä, "a, a-umlaut), they do not
print with the CM font. texexec complains about missing letters. However,
LaTeX handles them well (apart from using Type 3 fonts). The fonts in the
PDF file created by ConTeXt are otherwise ok, type 1 fonts are in used.
What is the missing spell I have forgotten from my file?

2. Actually, I would like to use Times/Helvetica and other Base14 fonts
instead of CM. When I try to do this, texexec complains about missing font
files. I do not have the real Adobe fonts (poor as I am) but I do have the
URW fonts installed instead in the /texmf/ tree. How can I use them in
ConTeXt?

My environment is Windows NT, and I use MiKTeX 2.10 (full install).

I am sorry if these questions are real FAQ questions, but I could not find
the right FAQ!

TIA,

- Ville
