Hello,

I was trying to use a new font (not Computer Modern) in my tex file
and all I get is the font in a very low resolution (see
http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp4.pdf).  This output was the
result of the following files:
type-garde.tex: http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/type-garde.tex
flipp4.tex: http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp4.tex

I created the typescript file according to the information in "ConTeXt
and pdfTeX Beginners help file"
(http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#selectfont).

The interesting thing is that I can get the fonts with good quality if
I only use TeX.  The output of running the file flipp3.tex:
http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp3.tex
* with pdftex: http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp3.pdf
* with texexec --pdf: http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp5.pdf
So it seems that texexec is doing things a bit differently then pdftex
but I can't figure out where or how to fix it.

I also tried having the font inclusion in the same tex file and not in
a typescript file with the same results:
* http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp6.tex
* http://www.nfmh.is/~kari/pub/context/flipp6.pdf

Then there came one strange thing.  When I tried the same thing with
the Bitstream Charter Bold font as he did in the beginners help file I
got a low resolution font when the inclusion was inside the same but
that worked fine with the online texexec program
(live.contextgarden.net).  However, when I used the typescript file as
he did in the help file I got good quality on the bistream font.

I am quite lost now so any help is very appreciated!

Output of texexec --version:
 TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

Thanks in advance,
