For instance, what used to work does not work anymore properly with the new version of ConTeXt I installed two weeks ago... For instance: \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[postscript] \usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding] %or helvetica, or palatino \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] used to work fine, but now it results in ConTeXt creating, the first time, a whole bunch of things regarding fonts, and then the resulting PDF contains some ugly jagging bitmap-looking characters (interestingly this happens only to the text characters, not to the math characters...). Adding \usetypescript[postscript] does not help neither. I wanted to answer David's question on Saturday but when I tried my examples, I was dispappointed and did not answer. Best regards: OK PS: When I added two samples of the PDF files to my previous post, it was blocked due to the fact that the message was over 40 Kb. So I am posting again without the attachments.
