Dear readers of this list, I have a working recent (La)TeX and ConTeXt installation. I have added several commercial PostScript fonts and can use them with (La)TeX. The font files of those fonts are in directories under texmf-local/fonts (afm, tfm, vf, type1), that is, as suggested by TeXFont manual for ConTeXt. However, following the TeXFont manual for ConTeXt, do I have to reinstall them from scratch for ConTeXt starting with the pfb- and afm-files from texmf-local/fonts/source, or can I use the already distributed pfb- and afm-files? Does a reinstallation interfer with the existing font installation for (La)TeX? Thanks for helpful hints in advance Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht -- Dr. Tobias Hilbricht Linopus Satz und Grafik www.linopus.de

Hello Thomas, [...]
following the TeXFont manual for ConTeXt, do I have to reinstall them from scratch for ConTeXt starting with the pfb- and afm-files from texmf-local/fonts/source, or can I use the already distributed pfb- and afm-files?
Yes, as I already answered on the german tex-d-l mailing list. Did you try my suggestion to add a typescript and just use the fonts? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
