I think they want to make people use /etc for configuration, which could make sense if you want to make backups of the system config. The updmap.d directory is supposed to make mounting maps easier, I guess. You just drop a file there containing the Map/MixedMap assignments and that is merged into updmap.cfg on issuing updmap-sys. Pretty confusing all that. But on the other hand, Hans, why can't I compile the PDFTex docs because I don't have this ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2004/006705.html ) And secondly, why is the file system searched case sensitive, so that the fonts are called in lowercase through the ConText maps (ec-raw-lte5002), so that I have to rename all files, but then mktextfm fails because it looks for ec-raw-LTe50021? For me the disturbing things are starting to prevail in my ConText experience. Is it supposed to be like that? -- Tobias > Hans > > _______________________________________________ > 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
