Hello, Dick just asked me about a problem he experiences with some documents that he ships with MacTeX. One of them is Hans' article using MAPS style. It fails to work with both LuaTeX and pdfTeX. The first one because of that footnote definition and the second one because of Charter being the default font, something like:
% type-one.mkii \starttypescriptcollection[charter] \starttypescript [serif] [charter] [ec,texnansi,8r] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman] [\typescriptthree-bchr8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Italic] [\typescriptthree-bchri8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold] [\typescriptthree-bchb8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldItalic] [\typescriptthree-bchbi8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Slanted] [\typescriptthree-bchr8a-slanted-167] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldSlanted][\typescriptthree-bchb8a-slanted-167] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman-Caps] [\typescriptthree-bchr8a-capitalized-800] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \loadmapfile[\typescriptthree-bitstrea-charter.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [charter] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Charter-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Charter-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Charter-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Charter-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [Charter-Slanted] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [Charter-BoldSlanted] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Charter-Roman-Caps] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection % maps style \starttypescript [map] [texnansi] \definetypeface[map][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=\typescripttwo] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[map][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[map] \starttext test \stoptext Of course no given distribution provides "texnansi-bchb8a" and other tfm files at the moment, so the sample documents that Dick is providing are broken. I think it is a very bad idea to ship two broken documents as "see, here are two documents to show you what you can(not) do with ConTeXt". And then it breaks the very first moment when people try to compile it, give up, and never test ConTeXt again. On one hand we could replace the sample documents (looking for suggestions), but I think that those Charter definitions should really be replaced or fixed. What is the best way to do that? I'm not even sure where they came from except that Hans probably used texfont.pl one day to prepare tfm files ... TeX Live contains bchb8r CharterBT-Bold " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchb8a.pfb bchbi8r CharterBT-BoldItalic " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchbi8a.pfb bchbo8r CharterBT-Bold " .167 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchb8a.pfb bchr8r CharterBT-Roman " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchr8a.pfb bchri8r CharterBT-Italic " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchri8a.pfb bchro8r CharterBT-Roman " .167 SlantFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <bchr8a.pfb and on my hard drive I have /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchb8a.afm /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/mathdesign/mdbch/bchb8a.afm but the font is not even closely covering EC and there are no texnansi tfm files in TeX Live. Taco - is the font actually used in MAPS?
