Hi, Hans Hagen wrote: My last one, yes. The one that only has lm->cm synonyms, nothing else. how about vietnamese ... we need to move the berry names to akb then: I see now that there are no vietnamese fonts in cont-fnt.zip, I thought you had included the t5 metrics as well. Those fonts should not be deleted from type-dis then, sorry. [berry] vs. [adobekb] does this makes sense? My original take was: if you know how to install the next context release, then you also know how to install cont-fnt, and no other trickery would be needed to get these postscript fonts to work. Just install cont-fnt if you want texfont names, or use e.g. \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] if you want to stick to berry names. Anything else will give you a "missing font" error, but one that should be easier to solve than the current "utmr8y" errors. So my plan was: no additional changes, just some removed \fontsynonyms: the ones that map to (regularly) unavailable fonts. (The u* and p* files do differ, don't they? If so, what are the compatibility issues involved? I remember some differences in spacing.) I do not think there will be compatibility issues since the old type-dis used the same actual metrics as the texfont-installed ones (both the u* (fontinst) and the [encoding]-u* (texfont) ones are based on the same .afm files, by URW). The only different ones are the p* ones that are (already and still will be) loaded by \usetypescript[adobekb]. These may or may not be based on actual Adobe metrics, I am not sure.
