Taco,
Yes.
ncntrsbk $ pwd
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/ncntrsbk
ncntrsbk $
What if I deleted all of the --ro=TEXMFMAIN switches from type-
tmf.dat? Would texfont then search on its own for the right place?
data $ texfont --help
TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004
--fontroot=path : texmf destination font root (default: /usr/
local/tetex/share/texmf.local)
--rootlist=paths : texmf source roots (default:
TEXMFFONTS,TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFEXTRA,TEXMFMAIN,TEXMFDIST)
This seems to say it would search on its own, so I am curious as to
why the --ro=TEXMFMAIN switches are in type-tmf.dat.
Thanks for the help. Learning a lot. :-)

This is great help. It almost worked.

Is it trying to back up a directory? How come.
The error reporting is being somewhat silly, I think.
It assumedly is talking about
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/ncntrsbk
Does that folder exist?

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
