The last time I tried, I downloaded cont-tmf.zip from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm and unzipped the contents to overwrite everything in texmf-local. Is this still the best way? I've got myself in a terrible mess now! I downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped the contents, then tried to follow Hans' instructions, i.e.: mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make (for mkii) context --make (for mkiv) Unfortunately, none of these commands runs without errors! SO, I decided to reinstall from scratch. That's where my problems really started! I searched around the Wiki and found lots of pages on installation, but none of them seem quite right. I looked at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf but it looks old and does not seem to relate to the stuff I've downloaded. From various places, I think I need to do the following, but some details are missing: 1. Install Ruby 2. Install Perl 3. Download cont-tmf.zip and unzip contents to installdir 4. Set environment variables: OSFONTDIR = C:\WINDOWS\Fonts TEXMF = installdir\scripts\context\stubs\mswin TEXMFCACHE = C:\TEMP TEXMFCNF = installdir\web2c TEXMFOS = ?? others 5. From command window, run installation scripts: mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make (for mkii) context --make (for mkiv) 6.
