Hi Hans, With the LuaMetaTeX-based ConTeXt wrapper, it's not generally possible to run ConTeXt from a symlinked binary in another directory. This shows up if someone makes symlinks in "/usr/bin" so that they can avoid adding anything to their $PATH. If you make run a symlink to the LuaMetaTeX-bas

Re: [NTG-context] update

Hi Lynx, > * How can I be sure that the standalone version is the one being > implemented? It depends on what your $PATH is set to. On Linux/macOS, you can run $ type -ap context to list all the ConTeXts in your $PTAH. The first one in that list is the one that will be ran by default

[NTG-context] characters.tex.toutf bug

Hi Hans, "characters.tex.toutf" only works if there is a backslash somewhere in its input string. This leads to some really surprising behaviour in the following example: \definefontfeature[default][tlig=no, trep=no] \startbuffer[test-bib] @article{one, author = {``Author---\v

[NTG-context] Unwanted space with \startframedtext

Hi Hans, There's an uncommented linebreak in the definition of \pack_framed_text_start that's introducing an unwanted space just before \startframedtext. Minimal example: \showmakeup[space] \starttext \hbox{.\startframedtext.\stopframedtext} \stoptext Patch: --- texmf-contex
