David, Sorry I've been quiet on this front. I've been busy with other, non- ConTeXt things for a while, and am in the process of re-engaging with it.
In order to run type-tmf.dat, you need a way around the hard-coded -- rootlist=TEXMFMAIN that's in the .dat file. gwTeX keeps the fonts we need in what it calls the TEXMFTE directory. My brutish workaround is as follows: 1) Go to some temp directory. 2) copy type-tmf into that directory: cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat . 3) munge type-tmf to something more gwTeX friendly: sed "s/TEXMFMAIN/TEXMFTE/" type-tmf.dat > type-tmf-gw.dat (literally: replace every occurrence of TEXMFMAIN with TEXMFTE and put it in type-tmf-gw.dat) 4) run texfont (prepend with sudo if you have errors): texfont type-tmf-gw.dat 5) run it again, if you want the ec encoding: texfont --en=ec type-tmf-gw.dat 6) process one or two test files to see if it really worked: texexec --once --mode=compact texnansi-urw-bookman.tex I hope that works for you. Gerben, Hans, can you think of a way to make this workaround unnecessary? adam David Arnold said this at Tue, 22 Nov 2005 09:08:17 -0800: >Hans, > >When I try: > >011-101:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data davidarnold$ >sudo texfont --encoding=texnansi -batch type-tmf.dat > >I get a slew of messages similar to this last one: > >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 > >Some extra information: > >texexec --verbose reports: > >applications will use : /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf > >This last file is attached. > > > > >On Nov 22, 2005, at 7:32 AM, Hans Hagen wrote: > >> David Arnold wrote: >> >>> Taco et al, >>> >>> OK, this didn't work.
