Re: [NTG-context] First time user trying to get Context to work

The problem has been solved. It turned out Ruby is installed twice on my computer. One is the regular download from www.ruby-lang.org, the other one came with cygwin (which I wasn't aware of). The cygwin path string was before the c:\ruby path string. When I moved the c:\ruby path before the

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals parsing of .tui broken with ruby 1.9.1 in Windows

Hello all, I want to report a problem that is either in ConTeXt, or in ruby 1.9.1 (last version of ruby). More probably, the problem has to do with ruby handling non-ASCII characters. I have no means of trying Linux, Solaris, etc... Anyone using ConTeXt with ruby 1.9.1 will face it probably (at

After installing ConTeXt Minimals (the devel version) yesterday, I ran the above example with ruby 1.9.1-p129 in Windows (both Win 2000 and XP show the problem). (maybe mojca can patch this in core-uti.mkii: ): % \appendtoks %  

[NTG-context] TeXLive newbie can't run Context

I'm the newest of newbies and have installed of TexLive on a PC running Vista. The post-installation tests described in Section 3.5 of the TeXLive Guide run just fine (Tex, LaTex, pdfLaTex). No tests were included for Context, so I failed around trying to run Texexec amd Texmfstart to no good end.

Re: [NTG-context] TeXLive newbie can't run Context

Hans, I didn't explicitly install ruby because I thought that was done automatically as part of the TexLive install. A ruby folder exists as c:\Program Files\texlive\2008\texmf-dist\scripts\context\ruby and has files in it. Where can instructions for installing ruby be found? Thanks, Tom Benjey

[NTG-context] alpha release

Hi I've put an alpha release on the website - no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex - a close to complete split in mkii/mkiv - cleaned up mkiv code - cleaned up mkiv backend (some pending issues) - some speedups in mkiv - a few fixes in mkii - updated mkiv typescripts (more to come)

[NTG-context] Two newbie questions about Texfont

Now that I finally have Context running I'm trying to install a number of type1 fonts. I've read the Texfont manual, but I couldn't find answers to these questions: 1. Can Texfont recursively process a font tree? I have a directory font tree like this: c:\fonts\type1\font-family1

Hans, Please pardon these very basic questions. Do I understand correctly that Context requires that a Ruby compiler that is not part of the TexLive package be installed? I had not previously heard of the Ruby language so know nothing about it. I assume that there are competing
