Hi all,

I've recently started reading about typefaces in ConTeXt, and trying out
the examples of `showfont.pdf', but stumbled upon errors for almost all
the fonts.

My installation uses teTeX-3.0 on FreeBSD:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/keramida$ pkg_info | fgrep -i tetex
dvipsk-tetex-5.95a_2 Convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript
teTeX-3.0_2         A meta port for teTeX suite
teTeX-base-3.0_11   Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (binaries)
teTeX-texmf-3.0_5   Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (texmf tree)
xdvik-tetex-22.84.10_1 DVI Previewer(kpathsearch) for X
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/keramida$

When I try typesetting:

    \definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
    \switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]

    \starttext
    Foo bar.
    \stoptext

All I get is an error like:

% (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running 
mktextfm uzcmi8t
% mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; 
input uzcmi8t
% This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)
%
% kpathsea: Running mktexmf uzcmi8t
% ! I can't find file `uzcmi8t'.
% <*> ...=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t
%
% Please type another input file name
% ! Emergency stop.

When I try using the Palatino font, as shown in `showfont.pdf':

    \definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif]
      [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec]
    \switchtotypeface [palatino] [12pt,rm]

    \starttext
    Foo bar.
    \stoptext

I get very similar errors:

% (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running 
mktextfm uplr8t
% mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; 
input uplr8t
% This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)
%
% kpathsea: Running mktexmf uplr8t
% ! I can't find file `uplr8t'.
% <*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uplr8t
%
% Please type another input file name
% ! Emergency stop.

Am I missing something, is there anything I can do to download these
files, or generate them in my teTeX installation?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Giorgos
