Hi Patrick, Yes, but what is the problem? We are not talking about other fonts, just the ones preinstalled by psnfss. We know ervery bit of those fonts, so no need to reflect the spacing etc. in the filename, since e.g. phvr8t will always have the same characteristics thougout all distributions.

This is not exactly an answer to your question, but it might solve your problem. You can use overlays with any figure, see cont-eni.pdf page 150ff. The mechanism is not so much the tex-engine TeX but one of the many little add-ons that come with ConText and exploit features of PDF. In
