The ConTeXt was too old. It did not have the type-akb.tex file and
so the filenames did not get mapped to the standard names. 

Why does a missing typescript not produce any error message?
 

because then you would ask how to turn off all those messages,  add 
\tracetypescriptstrue to cont-sys.tex and you'll have tons of messages -)

[NTG-context] Re: when trying to setup Arial fonts...

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello Jose,


 I am trying to setup Arial fonts...I am quite a newbie to this ConTeXt
 thing...


 I have just done \setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt] cause

 \usetypescript apparently is not recognised in my ConTeXt (previous
 version to the latest update of these days)

\usetypescript is an old command. Your ConTeXt surely knows about
this command.

 what is the use of this \usetypescript thing?

Well, typescripts are complicated. See Bill' page at
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html

using Helvetica works for me:
--
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] 
\usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos,ss,12pt]
  
\starttext
foo
\stoptext
--


 is Arial just a nickname for Helvetica sans-serif?

Well, yes and no.

There is no such thing as Helvetica sans-serif, because Helvetica
*is* without serifs. And Arial and Helvetica are two different fonts,
though similar looking and same metrics. But, depending on your
setup, asking for Helvetica can result in using Arial in Acrobat
Reader.

Hello,

 thanks for your reply...

 hmmm, I tried your code but I get a funny message.

 The thing is that I suspect I am lacking some files...

Try 

\usetypescript [adobekb][ec]
\usetypescript [postscript][ec]
\setupbodyfont[pos,ss,12pt]

\starttext
foo
\stoptext

How old is your ConTeXt? What TeX system do you have?

Make sure that ther is a line in your logfile like:

fonts  : [adobekb] [ec] []

If this does not appear, post your complete logfile.

 Patrick

the line appears but the command fails

my ConTeXt is the latest...just downloaded

my TeX is the one that comes bundled with cygwin:

This is TeXk, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)

also

This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.4.5)

the poor thing says that it cannot make:

mktextfm ec-uhvr8a

I enclose the output


thanks !


Jose
