I have what seems a very common font problem. I have had this problem before, but now I really need to understand why it doesn't work and to get it working.
For the record, I have installed the latest ConTeXt, and am using the TL6 (not yet 7) with the pdftex on CTAN. My input file is \starttext test \showbodyfont[pos] \stoptext I get: ----------------------- ... (/usr/share/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex))kpathsea: Running mktextfm +ec-utmr8a /usr/share/TeX/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation c- for +ec-utmr8a. /usr/share/TeX/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update +/usr/share/TeX/texmf/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-utmr8a This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-utmr8a ! I can't find file `ec-utmr8a'. <*> ...jfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-utmr8a ... ----------------------- >From what I see, ec-utmr8a is a synonym for utmr8t (see type-enc.tex). Then I have both utmr8t.tfm and utmr8t.vf. Hence, ConTeXt should have what it needs. utmr8t.vf leads to utmr8r (from vftovpl utmr8t.vf) and I have utmr8r.tfm as well as utmr8a.pfb to which it leads in dvips/urw/utm.map (and also in dvips/psfonts.map). Anyway, I think these considerations are irrelevant, since it seems ConTeXt doesn't follow the synonyms. Or have I again forgotten something? Thanks, Denis
