The link to Willi's Natural Tables MyWay hasn't worked in a while. Is it available anywhere else, by any chance?

I've put my copy at [1] --pg

Thanks Patrick!

Are you having font problems when you try to make a My Way on a Mac? Here's a fix.

[by prmartin@unimelb.edu.au <Paul R Martin>]

I encountered problems of the "font not found" kind when I tried to make a My Way document on Mac OSX 10.3 with the standard TeTex installation. Following suggestion from the ntg-context mailing list members I modified the context module [mag-01] at follows:

1) open a Terminal window 2) locate the file s-mag01.tex. Here's how I did it: the location wasn't exactly where I was told it should be, but the solution worked, so I'm happy.

 [nvri-hayden:~] paulm% locate s-mag-01.tex
 /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/s-mag-01.tex

3) edit the file by inserting the line:

   \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]

just before the lines:

 \usetypescript
 [palatino][\defaultencoding]

4) save the file and recompile the My Way document.

Thanks to Thomas A.Schmitz for the solution and to Otared Kavian and Hans Hagen for additional comments. Below are some the comments from them which may be of use: If I discover what they mean and it seems useful I'll write a My Way to explain it all.
