Re: [NTG-context] solved: context rendering disabled on contextgarden / new distribution?

2006-10-11 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hmm, wouldn't it be best to just update pdftex alone, without anything else? Yes, this could be an option, right. I didn't think of that choice. You don't need any cdrom or loopbacks for that. Or what exactly do you mean when you say distribution? Such as 'tetex', 'texlive' or the

I guess this is due to the fact that contextgarden still uses pdftex 1.2.x and current ConTeXt requires(??) 1.4 - right? and live should be up again soon. Sorry for the delay. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net ___

Hello Helin, Personally, I feel it's probably more flexible to have two distinct command, one for pdftex, and another for xetex... You can set this variable on a per project basis. So for project A set it to xetex, for project B set it to pdftex or unset it. This way you don't have to remeber
