I'm trying to use the free postscript fonts that come with teTeX (urw palatino, times, helvetica, courier and various others, you know the list) in ec encoding. I thinks I followed the instructions correctly, but still no luck. I'm using teTeX 2.0 with the TeXLive binaries (the ``Gerben Wierda'' distribution) on Mac OS X 10.2.3 (Jaguar). The frustrating bit is that in LaTeX everything comes preconfigured, but for ConTeXt I have to do it myself. I also use this as a testcase before buying the lucida typefaces (I want to be very sure I can install my fonts before shelling out the money). Here's a summary of what I've tried and noticed: 1 - I've used texfont on the type-ftm.dat file in the default installation of the distribution. This fails, because the ec.enc file isn't found. This seems correct, as it is named EC.enc (note that this is on hfs, a case insensitive system). I renamed the file to ec.enc and tried again. 2 - This time the encoding vector is found, and some files are generated. However I get a nice bunch of rectangles, I assume mean that some glyphs are missing. In fact I think the only glyphs that showed up are `borrowed' from Computer Modern. Help! My direct questions: a - Did anyone succeed in using the free postscript fonts on Mac OS X, using a distribution that I use (i.e. the most recent version) b - What were the exact commands that you used? Can you send me a simple test file? c - Did you experience the same EC.enc vs ec.enc naming problem? d - Do other platforms have the same problems with teTeX 2.0 (Hans: What version of teTeX are you using on your linux system, since at your place it obviously works ;-) Thanks in advance for any help, Maarten Sneep >>>-------------------------------------------------- 2 + 2 = 5 (George Orwell, 1984)
