font distribution for Bitstream Vera

Ahoi! There's now a ConTeXt distribution of Bitstream Vera freeware font at my site: http://www.ramm.ch/fiee/texnique/?menu=0-1-4&lang=en (Source of the font is gnome.org, redistribution is allowed, so I packed it.) Vera is similar to Verdana and Lucida; it contains Sans (4), Serif (2) and Mono (4). Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

I'm having problem with the fonts. I unzipped the file in texmf.local and then with the file: \usetypescriptfile [type-bitstream-vera] \usetypescript [tiee][bitstream-vera] \setupbodyfont [bitstream-vera, ss, 12pt] \starttext This is roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic}, {\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}. $$E = m c^2$$ \stoptext I got, ... pdftex : needs map file: original-context-symbol.map pdftex : needs map file: pl0-ams-cmr.map pdftex : needs map file: original-vogel-symbol.map fonts : [tiee] [bitstream-vera] [] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/type-bitstream-vera.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex) bodyfont : unknown variant bitstream-vera (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) (./testfont.tuo) systems : begin file testfont at line 50 [1.1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] systems : end file testfont at line 81 ){/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320.enc}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/d vips/tetex/aae443f0.enc} usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmssbx10.pfb> Output written on testfont.pdf (1 page, 24854 bytes). What else do I need to do to set up the fonts correctly? Thanks, Michael

Did you run texhash and updmap to make your TeX-installation aware of the new files and write the new fonts to your mapfile? Best Thomas
