Taco,
This is great help. It almost worked.
share $ TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex
share $ export TEXMFMAIN
data $ texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat
TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004
slant factor : 0.167
checking root : TEXMFMAIN
processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/ncntrsbk
--help : show some more info
data $
Is it trying to back up a directory? How come.

Gerben, Taco,
OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think
what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type-
tmf.dat.
lm $ locate type-tmf.dat
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat
lm $
Does it matter which of these I use?
Take the one in texmf.local. It should not make a lot of difference,
but that one is the latest, and also it belongs to the ConTeXt you
are running.
Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat,"
two things:
1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST?
That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point?
kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFMAIN
expands the variable TEXMFMAIN (on the terminal). I'm not sure
which one you need, because I am not familiar with gwTeX. You need the
one that contains the afm files, like uhvr8a.afm. For me that file is
in:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.afm
so I needed the tree that starts with
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist
Assuming a (ba)sh command line shell, this should do it (three lines):
lm $ TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist
lm $ export TEXMFMAIN
lm $ texfont ....
2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with
one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line
I would add near the top of the file?
To answer the question anyway: I do not believe that is possible.
But with the solution above, there is no need to edit type-tmf.dat.
(I hope I'm not confusing you, but I am on Linux and teTeX so being
precise is hard)
Cheers, Taco
