I made a fresh MiKTeX installation and tried the URW font installation hint given by Nigel King. My old MiKTeX installation was installed at C:\Program Files\MiKTeX. The space in the path confused texfont, it complained about "c:program" not found. Installing to d:/texmf removed this complaint. (However, I'd love to keep my programs in the "program files" folder, so this should be solved, as well.) > texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat This produced a looooong list of errors. I took just one line from the batch file to make this listing shorter: texfont --encoding=ec --ve=urw --co=times --so=auto The output is pasted under this message. There are a few things which seem slightyl bad: 1. The source path is "D:\texmf/fonts/afm/urw/times", i.e. both backslash and the forward one are mixed (thanks, M$, for choosing \). This might confuse something. 2. Possibly for this reason none of the utm*8a.pfb files was found. These files do exist in d:\texmf\fonts\type1\urw\times 3. initexmf seems to dislike the command line options given by the script, at least it shows its usage, which does not look so good. 4. Files ec-urw-xxx.map are created at d:\localtexmf\pdftex\config, and they look good. 5. When I try to run the test file given by Kris Hermans, the system complains about missing ec-raw-utmr8a. This might be because such font does not exist (tfm files are available in \localtexmf\fonts, pfb not). 6. When I try to run the file ec-urw-times.tex, the system complains first about missing fmvr8x. This seems to be a euro-related problem. I have marvosym and eurofonts installed, but can find only .tfm file for the font. --- So, what's next? I guess there are a lot of MiKTeX users who'd love to use ConTeXt with URW fonts. And sometimes even with the local currency symbol.
