As pdftex (with context) uses his own psfonts.map (e.g
texfm/pdftex/config/psfonts.map) your ps-fonts should be mentioned there.
>From your explanation below it is not clear if you have done this.

> mtnaskh8 for main text smaller than 9pt (like footnotes)

> \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{mtnaskhi}{bx}{n}{
> <-> [1.6] mtnaskhb
> }{}

> These fonts are already installed on my system and listed in config.ps
