Changes

PSNFSS is an abbreviation of '‘post script new font selecting system',’

the thirty five base fonts. (Note, however, that the Adobe Type 1 (postscript) fonts have been replacedby the [http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/T1_to_OTF_FAQ.htm OpenType] standard,available in ConTeXt through the [[TeX Gyre - Old Content]] fonts.) Part of psnfss PSNFSS is a set of font metrics

only knows about metrics, not outlines).  '''PSNFSS contains the following fonts:'''<table style="width:100%; border:1px solid #DDDDDD;"><tr style="background-color:#CCCCCC;"><th>font family</th><th>styles</th><th>KB name</th><th>ConTeXt typescript</th></tr><tr><td>AvantGarde</td><td>4: Book, Demi + Oblique</td><td>pag</td><td>urwgothic, using the [[modules:urwgothic| urwgothic typescript]]</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>Bookman</td><td>4: Light, Demi + Italic</td><td>pbk</td><td>bookman</td></tr><tr><td>Courier</td><td>4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique</td><td>pcr</td><td>courier (''tt'')</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>Helvetica</td><td>4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique</td><td>phv</td><td>helvetica (''ss'')</td></tr><tr><td>Helvetica-Narrow</td><td>4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique</td><td>phv*n</td><td>?</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>New Century Schoolbook</td><td>4: Roman, Bold + Italic</td><td>pnc</td><td>schoolbook</td></tr><tr><td>Palatino</td><td>4: Roman, Bold + Italic</td><td>ppl</td><td>palatino</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>Symbol</td><td>1: (Normal)</td><td>psy</td><td>?</td></tr><tr><td>Times</td><td>4: Roman, Bold + Italic</td><td>ptm</td><td>times</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>Zapf Chancery</td><td>1: MediumItalic</td><td>pzc</td><td>chancery (''cg''!)</td></tr><tr><td>Zapf Dingbats</td><td>1: (Normal)</td><td>pzd</td><td>(access through symbols)</td></tr></table>

If you don't have installed (MKII only; MKIV uses the [[TeX Gyre - Old Content]] fonts) You can use the various psnfss font metrics families by using commands like <texcode>\usetypescript[times][ec]\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]</texcode> Note that in the case of &ldquo;helvetica&rdquo; these lines should be replaced with : <texcode>\usetypescript[helvetica][ec]\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt]</texcode> or <texcode>\usetypescript[helvetica][ec]\setupbodyfont[helvetica,12pt]\starttext\ss</texcode> since helvetica is sans serif.  Here is an example: <texcode>%\usetypescript [adobekb][8r,ec] % uncomment for old ConTeXt\usetypescript[times][ec]\setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext \input knuth\blankAnd this is some maths with PostScript fonts. \startformula{a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0,\qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}.\stopformulaSome ligatures: ffi, ffl.  \stoptext</texcode> == Examples of mixing typefaces ==Suppose you want* For normal text use the Times-Roman font* For math'suse a different font, i.e. Latin Modern then use <tttexcode>texfont \usetypescript[modern] \usetypescript[times][ec]  \definetypeface[MyFace][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[MyFace][mm][math][modern][default][encoding=ec]  \setupbodyfont[MyFace,12pt]</tttexcode>,   == Notes == '''Pdftex warning messages''' You are likely to get some warnings from pdfetex like  Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file but these are harmless and can be ignored. '''Older ConTeXt releases (pre 2006.01.09)''' If you use an older ConTeXt release (like one that came with your TeX installation) you will have to change an internal mapping offont filenames with the commandsthis command:

<texcode>\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding8r,ec]</texcode>

or whatever encoding you want to useIn new ConTeXt releases, this has become the default behaviour. After that you can setup yourfont with

and similar commandsIf you are stuck on Debian 3. 1 like me, or are running a ConTeXt release before August 2003,you can download the adobekb.tex file from [http://levana.de/context/ levana.de]. Or maybe upgrading teTeX from [http://www.backports.org/ backports] will solve that?
