Hi all,
I'm following the instructions at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_a_TrueType_font,_step_by_step
because I want to install a TTF (Gentium in fact) for ConTeXt to use.
There is a warning that these instructions may be out of date, but I
haven't found anything newer.
This is under TeX Live 2013, the context scheme, and I've been using
ConTeXt mkiv.
I found texfont.pl, though it wasn't in the path, and managed to run it
in the directory where I have my .ttf files:
$ sudo PATH=$PATH
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl/texfont.pl
--ve=sil --co=gentium --makepath --install
But then I get errors about ttf2afm:
TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2013/../texmf-local/ls-R...

I can't find ttf2afm anywhere. Is it part of pdfTex? Do I have to have
the pdftex scheme installed in order to install True-type fonts?
Thanks,
Lars
