Hi,
add/patch this in your texmf.cnf file:
OSFONTDIR =
T1FONTS =
.;$TEXMF/fonts/{type1,pfb}//;$TEXMF/fonts/misc/hbf//;$OSFONTDIR//
AFMFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/afm//;$OSFONTDIR//
TTFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{truetype,ttf}//;$OSFONTDIR//
OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/opentype//;$OSFONTDIR//
and in your batch file say:
set osfontdir=c:/windows/fonts
that way tex knows where to look for the pfb files
(what are the corresponding values for linux/osx ?)

I hope you can translate from unix-like pseudo-commands into DOS:
make a new, clean temp directory.
copy times*.ttf into that directory.
from that directory, run:
texfont --ma --in --ve=microsoft --co=timesnewroman --show
What happens?
Ok, much progress:-)
1. Your command worked as is, no need to translate:-))
2. TeXFont did its magic, with no *apparent* errors (but see below) :
a. ttf|afm|tfm|vf's are copied to/generated within
[truetype|afm|tfm|vf]\microsoft\timesnewroman;
b. texnansi-microsoft-timesnewroman.map generated in \map\pdftex\context
c. texnansi-microsoft-timesnewroman.tex created in temp dir.
3. Problem: upon compiling texnansi-microsoft-timesnewroman.tex. I get
===================================================

===================================================
a. Note the warnings;
b. Adobe complains about an error in opening the page (I'm sending you the pdf
directly)
4. Question: how can I make TeXFont default to C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local instead
of C:\TeXLive\texmf-local?
I think I'm close to the finish line. Thnx 4 all your help!
