[NTG-context] Installing Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt
Hi, I'm trying to install Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt, I'm using texfont, and all but one font properly generate: Good: \starttyping \definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-BoldB][texnansi-hum777b][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-BoldItalicB][texnansi-hum777bi][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-ItalicB][texnansi-hum777i][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[Humanist777BT-RomanB][texnansi-hum777n][encoding=texnansi] \stoptyping Bad: \starttyping \definefontsynonym[][texnansi-zhu601bi][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Bold][texnansi-zhum601b][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Italic][texnansi-zhum601i][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[ZapfHumanist601BT-Roman][texnansi-zhum601n][encoding=texnansi] \stoptyping (Complete file attached) Does anybody have a clue why the first define went sour? Which tool is used to extract the metadata from the .pfb files? Also, I'm currently installing in ~/texmf, however, say I'd want to make these fonts available system-wide, what would be the correct place to move them? And texfont creates a series of .tex files (containing the above text), what is the properly location to put them? I don't want to copy these files into each project directory.

Looks like a typing error in the pfb rename of 0018a___.pfb: it should be named zhum601bi.pfb (note the 'm').

I got the fonts from a CorelDRAW cdrom. I used the files as is. Anyway other font collections also have deviating filenames, and they work just fine.

In my experience, you have to get the coordination between pfb and tfm exactly right. Things are case sensitive etc... I'm sure there's just a typo or mismatch somewhere Also, I'm currently installing in ~/texmf, however, say I'd want to makethese fonts available system-wide, what would be the correct place to movethem? Better to put them in texmf-local or, even better, texmf-project (may have to edit setuptex.bat in that case). I NEVER install anything in texmf if I can help it. See also the MyWay I wrote on this topic, maybe something in there will help.

I'm sure there's just a typo or mismatch somewhere I renamed all the fonts according to: http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Bitstream-fonts.html#Bitstream-fonts I did this using a script, so there very little chance of error.
