[NTG-context] encoding/compiling issues (macosx)
Hi to all, we (I and Miriam, who is in CC, but she should be now on the list) are setting up our ConTeXt installation in order to (re-)typeset the academic journal we are editors. We are both on macosx: the idea is to use XeTeX. I installed on Miriam's macbook mactex, and I also have updated it from the mactex site. Exactly like mine. We're experiencing this problem: we have an utf 8 text and I'm compiling with no problem on my machine. On Miriam's one 1. if we compile with ConTeXt-pdftex (specifying the regime) we are having little black boxes near the non-ascii char (i.e. an accented glyph is rendered as non accented glyph + box) 2. if we compile with XeConTeXt the resulting pdf simply skips the accents (e.g an accented glyph is rendered non accented) More: We can't do ctxtools --updatecontext it complaint it cannot fetch the zip Differences: 1. I am on macbook pro, she's on macbook (both on 2007 intel) 2. I'm using the English version of the macosx system, she's using the Italian one. Many thanks -a- -- Andrea Valle -- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino -- http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

[NTG-context] metapost question
Just because I hope that someone may have done this already: does anyone have metapost code to draw the Platonic solids (I hope the attachment comes through).

Are you behind a firewall? ctxtools --update cannot fetch the zip files behind a firewall.

Thanks Wolfgang, Can you send e example to the list. http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/misc/ 01_etc: the pdf from which we copied and pasted andreaConTeXt: compiled with XeConTeXt (fine) env_etc: the env (we're using a project structure).
