Dear folks, The dvips/dvipdfmx problem is not limited to aleph in the latest ConTeXt:
===========test-3========== \setupoutput[dvi] \starttext abc \stoptext =========================== gives =========================== $>dvipdfmx test3 test3.dvi -> test3.pdf [1** Fatal error: Could not locate a virtual or a physical font file for 'ec-lmr 12'. ** ERROR ** $>dvips test3 This is dvips(k) 5.94b Copyright 2004 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro =========================== I suppose that the transition to lmr is at the root of this. Anyway, I think my own problems have been reduced to the following 4: 1. supp-dir needs to be modified or made into an optional module (e.g. m-xetex) (so I don't have to modify it every time I update ConTeXt); 2. aleph needs to be taught;-) to look for its format in its own subdirectory (related: an aleph.ini should be included so that the plain aleph.fmt can be compiled. I also think the minimal context should support plain.fmt, which helps in testing etc. right now manfnt is missing); 3. dvips/dvipdfmx need to be taught how to find lmr (and perhaps other fonts? a complete font torture test before every release and for users to do their own testing is desperately needed I think. ); 4. In order to use Gamma, either i. the basic omega files (with aleph replacing omega.exe) should be included in mswincontext.zip; or ii. I need to know how to get the \ConTeXt tree to properly search the \TeXLive tree for the omega files (and for other fonts like cmr, etc). Strangely, I was able to get \TeXLive\...\texmf.cnf configured to read the \ConTeXt tree, but I was not able to get \ConTeXt\...\texmf.cnf to be able to read the \TeXLive tree. Any idea why? Many many thnx to Hans for all his hard work; I look forward to a reliable ConTeXt:-))) Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
