sure I did :) There is a mapping to upl*, none to ppl

It would be nice if we had a beginners instruction: 'If you have tetex and
want to use context/postscript fonts, just type \dosomething[very,short]'
and not 'please run texfont with these options and copy the...'
I cannot really see the strategy on how to use the system fonts.
-------------
In the manual ('fonts in context', April 2001) it is said:
\switchtobodyfont[pos,tim]
to switch to times. But that gives me:
kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-utmr8a
[...]
which is definately wrong.
------------
the cont-sys.tex says:
% If you want the default berry names (ec and 8r only):
%
% \usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding]
but: where do I go from here? (what do I have to type next to get
times/palatino...)
------------
\setupencoding[default=8r]
\usetypescript[berry][8r]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
this gives me a messed up encoding
(same with ec)
-------------
\usetypescript [map] [all]
\setupbodyfont[ber,pos,ss,10pt]
tries to locate 8r-uhvr8a -> fail

(the above examples came from messages in this mailinglist)

I would like to use it w/o using texfont :)

yes, I wanted to have a running beta by next week (I am giving a tutorial
about font installation with LaTeX) but since it is more complicated than
I've thought... there will be a delay.
