What's is even better is the underlying system.
With XeTeX and LuaTeX you can load font either by the filename

, it has to reload and re-subset the complete ttf font.
It is unlikely this situation will ever improve, and the best option is
to switch to using one of the two new engines: xetex or luatex. This
will need different font commands from the ones you used for pdftex,
though.

You can try XeTeX if you want to put load on both processors. It does
offer
as well as a typesetting engine, there is no way of knowing what
the state of the engine will be after the next token has been read,
never mind the next chapter.

You are right here.
Joking, perhaps you could fix it in Mark VII ;-)

Is it true?
but then you'll probably
want support for quad-core
a time consuming task A to
processor 1 and another time consuming task B to processor 2 where
both tasks need to be independent from each other and then you may
join the results at the end, else you spend more resources for
communication between processors than for actual work.

As Taco confirmed, it seem to run xetex and xdipdfmx in separate processes.
another example is running luatex in a virtual machine using one cpu in
which case some file/disk io is done by an other (due the layered disk
handling)

Hi,
Guess what happens when you run this with xetex
\starttext\recurselevel\stoptext
This is a side effect of the definition of \dofastrecurse. After using
\dofastrecurse, the default value of recurselevel is
\number\fastrecursecounter rather than 0. I don't think that this will
have any

I do not think that any change is needed (One shouldn't use
\recurselevel outside a recursion macro anyways). I was just surprised
to find that recurselevel was defaulting to such a weird value in xetex.
also in luatex but that will probably change once we have more
have even done tricks like this:
\fontfam=bch
\font\rm \fontfam r8r at \fontsize
Introducing a new font into TeX is never simple but I find it easier
if I don't have to construct (and debug) an elaborate chain of
font synonyms.
Use XeTeX or LuaTeX and you have no problem to use the font you
and moving on
to either xetex or luatex (which uses context mkiv)
for luatex/mkiv you don't need to mess around with fonts as this combo
directly handles afm/pfb files so there is no need for creating tfm metrics
Hans
files with extensions in uppercase?
Most of my type1 font files are in uppercase like: XYZ_.AFM I can only
get Texfont to process these files if I first rename them to lowercase, like
XYZ_.AFM
since you're new to context you can consider skipping pdftex and moving
on to either xetex
to lowercase,
like
XYZ_.AFM

for luatex/mkiv you don't need to mess around with fonts as this combo
directly handles afm/pfb files so there is no need for creating
kpsewhich at all) and is pretty fast
the only bit that is still depending on ruby is the index sorting that
is built in texexec (used by pdftex and xetex) but i could not motivate
myself to rewrite that bit
the luatx workflow only uses lua and uses luatex itself as lua
interpreter so
Yes, but I don't arrive at expected results with pdftex either.

Hans ... I suspect that ConTeXt MKII (both pdftex and xetex) are

indeed. mkiv only as i don't want dependencies on perl/ruby in this case
