Hi, Sorry I did not answer to this one, because I do not have a lot of Linux experience. - In fact I installed TTF in a win environment and can use them with Context. The results? -
Prepare the afm and tfm files with the respective tools. (Use Hans his namingscheme) Prepare a typescript, which can go into \texmf\tex\context\user: e.g. type-myttf.tex \starttypescript [sans] [schwaben] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [SchwabenRoman] \stoptypescript Put a line in the file \texmf\tex\context\user\type-loc.tex ( this file is automatically loaded at runtime) \starttypescript [map] [texnansi] \loadmapfile[texnansi-myttf.map] \stoptypescript Prepare the above mentioned map-file with the necessary lines: texnansi-schwaben "Schwaben TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" <schwaben.ttf <texnansi.enc In your texsource: \usetypescriptfile[type-myttf] \definetypeface [Firstfont][ss][sans][schwaben][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[Firstfont,12pt] At least in my case this works.
