I fear it was even more complicated. Also some strangeness in the map files which i discovered myself in the meantime. I ripped all the context folders from my system and saw that there were even map files in /etc $locate -r /context$ /etc/texmf/map/dvips/context /etc/texmf/map/pdftex/context /etc/texmf/context /usr/share/doc/texmf/context /usr/share/doc/texmf/polish/context /usr/share/texmf/tex/context /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/context /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/context /usr/share/texmf/context /usr/share/texmf/metapost/context /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/hoekwater/context /usr/share/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/context /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/hoekwater/context /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/hoekwater/context /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/context I grepped for ec-lmt-12 in the map files and it wasn't there. But these were identical (i.e. the second contained references to cork. (why??)) $ diff cork-public-lm.map ec-public-lm.map $ So I just did $rm -rf `locate -r /context$` and inflated the cont-tmf.zip back into the tree. Maybe it would have been better to use my home dir texmf for that but there were a .texmf, a texmf and a .texmf-var already and I didn't want to hunt for some stale files first. > > I followed the instructions on the Wiki, but I was fairly confused > > because the generic instructions and the Debian instructions being > > interspersed didn't make clear what really pertains to Debian.

All these texmfs, maps, tfms and whatnot. Insane. Plus ConText's output only makes sense to the developers. Latin modern is up and running, though. Phew. My initial intention to compile the PDFTex docs still is a no-go. It is asking for the ec-urw-palatino.map which doesn't exist :( *getting out the typewriter* regards, Tobias > > Cheers, Taco > > _______________________________________________ > ntg-context mailing list > ntg-context@ntg.nl > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
