[NTG-context] pdfetex can't find map files
Aargh!
Font problems again: after not using ConTeXt for a while, I installed
the December 6 package today, generated formats, copied cont-sys.rme and
texexec.rme, and so on. Since I recently upgraded my teTeX installation,
I also edited pdftex.cfg, adding a bunch of
map +foo
lines--though I guess that's not strictly necessary, since I have
\autoloadmapfilestrue
in cont-sys.tex.
All my fonts and typescripts are in the same places they were before,
and it seems they are being found; however, pdfetex seems to be unable
to use regular TeX fonts (e.g. Computer Modern) because it can't find
the map files installed by ConTeXt. There are a number error messages
that look like this (representing all the ConTeXt map files, I think):
Warning: pdfetex (file original-public-vnr.map): \
cannot open font map file
The files exist and are world-readable, so the above must mean that
pdfetex just can't find them.
Now, I did one important thing differently from before: I installed
ConTeXt under $TEXMFLOCAL, which on my system is /usr/local/share/texmf.
So the map files in question are in
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/
And I *think* my texmf.cnf is set up correctly:
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fontname;$TEXMF/fonts/map//
% also TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex and TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex w/ same values
TEXINPUTS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{plain,generic,context,}//
TEXINPUTS.pdfetex = \
.;$TEXMF/{pdfetex,pdftex,etex,tex}/{plain,generic,context,}//
TEXINPUTS.context = \
.;$TEXMF/{pdftex,etex,tex}/{context,plain,generic,}//
... and so on.
So, anyone have an idea what I might have missed?

Hi all, I have a running tetex-2.99.4-beta. Now I would like to update ConTeXt to version 2004-12-06. After comparing directory structures I see there is difference: 1. In ConTeXt all map files are in fonts/map/pdftex/context/*.map 2. In teTeX amm map files are in fonts/map/dvips/context/*.map So my question is how I could update ConTeXt safely ? Which directory structure I have to follow ? teTeX will continue to work if map files installed in ConTeXt's structure ?

[NTG-context] using fonts -- installation
Dear Contexers, I'm logging in through webmail, so right now I cannot try your suggestions but I will as soon as I get home. I already thank everybody for responding. I am puzzled by this line which Hans wrote: \definetypeface[johanna][rm][serif][palatino][default] Hans further writes that [serif][palatino] is the main typescript filter and that [rm] is mapped on to [serif][palatino] I don't quite grasp this. - Why exactly do I have to refer to [serif][palatino]? - Do you mean that palatino serves as a default which has to be remapped when a new font is installed? - Where is this status of palatino registered? - And why did you chose palatino, rather than another typeface?
