Hi,
I tried to compile that by doing
cd .../doc/context/sources/general/manuals/math
context math-mkiv.tex
and after some chugging away, context said
tex error > tex error on line 370 in file
/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/math/math-spacing.tex:
Math error: parameter 'subshiftdown' with id 49 in style 2 is not set

{\switchtobodyfont [cambria]\math{F_j = \int\nolimits _a^b}
} {Cambria}
The document requires the cambria mth font.
Wolfgang,
thanks. I found a free download of it, downloaded it and installed it,
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=\*ambr\*
outputs
identifier familyname fontname filename
subfont instances
cambriamath cambriamath cambriamath cambria-math.ttf
cambriamathnormal cambriamath cambriamath cambria-math.ttf
cambriamathregular cambriamath cambriamath cambria-math.ttf
which I assume is what I expect, but I still get the same error.
Context uses a typescript file to load cambria and expects either
cambria.ttc or cambmath.ttf as file names.
Wolfgang,
thanks. I'll try renaming the file and see what happens.
there are various names used for cambria (here i have an official one
for instance independent of a windows installation)
fwiw: i never use the system fonts but use copies in texmf-fonts/data
because then one knows what one gets (read: don't expect me to bother
with issues with system fonts as these can change)
