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
