No help from enabling in cont-sys.tex of:

(updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts)
then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like:
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file
that is when you use texfont generated metrics
texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tfm.dat
will generate those metrics (which are the ones i use)
If I use
\setupbodyfont[lbr,12pt]
then I get just lm-roman, although I have the YandY lucida fonts
installed with their original YandY names (lb--.pfb)
Here no help from changing between texnansi and ec default encoding.
lucida is a special case -)
because i used lucida a lot, those definitions ended up in the core, but
when i bought more and more fonts, i finally decided to move the lucida
defs to the type-buy.tex typescript because that;s where they belong
you can add the line:
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
to the cont-sys.tex file, but best is (because it's a document property)
to say in you document (or style):
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % loads commercial font definitions
\usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] % defines a lucida typeface
\setupbodyfont[lucida,12pt] % enables the typeface defined as
'lucida'
(see type-buy.tex)
so, basically, the 'lbr' choice is gone
the same is true for 'pos'; which originally was meant for the fonts
that adobe shipped (but no longer does); over time it became for instance
\usetypescript[postscript][ec] % times, helvetica, courier, tx math;
properly r-scaled
or in components
\usetypescript[times][ec]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
in principle the
\usetypescript [adobekb] [ec] % depending on what is in use, if in
doubt use [all]
should work; (keep in mind that in spite of all kind of references in
tex environments to encodings, often only ec is shipped)
Any idea whats amiss? I ran this on a teTeX3 install with the context
files unzipped into texmf-local.
(I must confess I am tempted to give up on ConTeXt altogether,
because of these many font troubles.)
well, latin modern is kind of special for a while (because it involves
some major changes in distributions as well) but that will stabelize
(only new fonts will be added to the latin modern family; context for
instance does support teh condensed monospaced already)
concerning distributions: because of changes in map, enc, whatever, i
don't use updmap (i have way more fonts on my machine than present in
distributed map files)
how old is your cont-sys.tex? take a look at cont-sys.rme and see what
has changed (keep in mind that pdftex occasionally changes and we need
to keep up with that as well)
[once a generic map file model is in place - which is on the agenda for
pdftex cum suis] live may become more easy
