Then the error log changes. Now we have:

! Font \*12ptsstf*=uhvr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

Hi, 

somehow your 8r-base.map doesn't get read. I wonder why. If you use

\setupencoding[default=ec] 

it should work ok. But: check your cont-sys.tex and update it
according to cont-sys.ori. There is a statement like:

\loadmapfile[8r-base.map]

That should be in there for correct mapfile handling. After that, your
file should run OK. See the output from your logfile:

fonts           : using map file: original-base
fonts           : using map file: ec-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: ec-base
...

There is no 8r-base.

It does. The server is sometimes overloaded.

So now your log file would be interesting -)

OK, that looks fine. Please post your logfile and make sure it runs ok
on live.contextgarden.net

OK, it looks as if you have problems with mapfiles:

Perhaps Gerben knows what is going on here. What is the output of the
shell command:

grep phvr8r `kpsewhich pdftex.map`

Hello Steffen,

do you have psfnss (LaTeX) installed?

For me the following works fine:

%%%% begin
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]

%% for helvetica uncomment this
\usetypescript[helvetica][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt]

%% for times uncomment this
%\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext
\input knuth
\bigskip

And this should be some maths with PostScript fonts (but not with 
Helvetica\dots).
\startformula
{a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi} 
\sin(x)^2dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0.
\stopformula

\stoptext
%%%% end

Somehow, unlike Adam's suggestion, I can't replace [\defaultencoding] by [8r].

Cheers: OK

I'm taking a leap with this, because I don't have my gwTeX box at hand,
but try

  \usetypescript [adobekb]    [8r]
  \usetypescript [postscript] [8r]
  \setupbodyfont [pos,ss,12pt]

gwTeX (IIRC) has a full complement of adobe 8r metrics. Note that
helvetica in the postscript typescript is scaled at 90% so "12pt"
actually means 10.8pt.

Helvetica ?

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

I used to install the fonts that I need for contexing.

But for the current project only Helvetica is needed, and so I 
remembered Patrick saying:

But not for me. The same file as above results in:

What is missing? I am working (under OSX) with Hans' recent Beta, 
with Gerbens latest tex i-package, and I also saw various helvetica 
pfb files being installed with Gerbens distro.

So, shouldn't contexing with Helvetica work just out-of-the-box, as 
Patrick said?
