Hi Asim,

just for your information: the most bytes in the ConTeXt Suite come from
fonts.

In order to have a MkIV-only ConTeXt Suite, please add "--engine=luatex"
to your script invocaton. (This is explained in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Single_user_installation.)

I don’t think it is safe to remove files individually. I think it is way
safer to download the ConTeXt Suite again.


keep in m in that --engine is cummulative as the installer remembers 
what components needs to be updated so you need to do a fresh install 
for --engine=luatex

Hi Asim,

just for your information: the most bytes in the ConTeXt Suite come from
fonts.

In order to have a MkIV-only ConTeXt Suite, please add "--engine=luatex"
to your script invocaton. (This is explained in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Single_user_installation.)

I don’t think it is safe to remove files individually. I think it is way
safer to download the ConTeXt Suite again.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Thank you, Pablo, for the information about the Microtype package. And
after a bit more searching (and getting an answer from Hans Hagen :-) ), I
am considering MkIV, instead of MkII, now. But I have another question: How
can I identify the files that are only required for MkII, and not needed
for MkIV? Would it be safe to delete them? Actually I want to reduce the
size of ConTeXt as much as possible.

Hi Asim,

I’m only an average user. But I guess LuaTeX is pretty stable (version 1
was released recently).

I have no complain about LuaTeX microtypography. I mean, I use both font
expansion and character protrusion, and they work fine for me.

But I’m not a LaTeX user. If you took the data from
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/microtype/microtype.pdf#page=7,
please don’t forget that the LuaTeX version included in that table is old.

Maybe you find interesting this thread about microtypography in ConTeXt:
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084990.html.


I found that my system fonts are located at c:\windows\fonts, so I added
this address in front of OSFONTDIR in texmf.cnf file. But it still is
not working, although the previous warning message has now gone. ConTeXt
now silently stops the processing and does not give any output file.


I’d rather use MkIV. But if you want to stick to MkII, consider the
following variants:

OSFONTDIR = $SystemRoot/Fonts
OSFONTDIR = c:/Windows/Fonts

I cannot remember, but I think using "\" is problematic with TeX (even
for path names).

Just in case it might help,


Pablo

Hi Asim,

I’m only an average user. But I guess LuaTeX is pretty stable (version 1
was released recently).

I have no complain about LuaTeX microtypography. I mean, I use both font
expansion and character protrusion, and they work fine for me.

But I’m not a LaTeX user. If you took the data from
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/microtype/microtype.pdf#page=7,
please don’t forget that the LuaTeX version included in that table is old.

I’d rather use MkIV. But if you want to stick to MkII, consider the
following variants:

OSFONTDIR = $SystemRoot/Fonts
OSFONTDIR = c:/Windows/Fonts

I cannot remember, but I think using "\" is problematic with TeX (even

Re: [NTG-context] texexec in ConTeXt Standalone does not work

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Hi Asim,

Before typing |: |||set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts you have to go to 
|/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/ and type : ||set PATH=%PATH% (if your 
Windows system is |||32 bits |Windows, modify the command).

|

|Then : |||set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts||

||After that, in the same directory 
(|/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/)| type :||


|1) ||context --generate then 2) ||context --make|

|3) In order to reload all fonts installed in c:/windows/fonts, type the 
following command :|


|mtxrun --script fonts --reload|

|You may verify the installation of any font with the following command :|

mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=AnyFont* --all (you can play with * 
before and/or after the Font name))

|Hope that helps,|

|JP
