When trying to typeset for example a document using the mag-01 module I get an error that from what I understand is font related. I'm using MacOS 10.4.6 (on intel), and I do have the Palatino font. Why do I get the error and how can the problem be resolved?

ERROR MESSAGE##############################

Hi Johan,

I think you need something like this:

\enableregime[utf] \loadmapfile[context-base] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext

Here we are using the font \fontname\font.

These are some diacritics: �, �, �, �, �.

And these are some ligatures: affliction, affine, first.\par Can you see correctly \type{affliction, affine, first}? $${\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0 = \int_0^{2\pi}\sin(x)dx, \quad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1 \over n^2} = {\pi^2\over 6}.$$ \input knuth.tex

\stoptext

I experienced several problems like the ones you mention, but the above works fine for me (Mac OS X 10.4.6, TeX and ConTeXt installed with Gerben Wierda's i-installer).

normally things should work ok when one generates the metrics with texfont (or installs the font metrtics zip); problems can be anything, from a missing tfm, to a missing (or differently named type1) or a messed up map file, or an old pdftex ...
