My system, as I mentioned, is teTex 3 from Debian unstable, which has
a weird new map system that is working through .cfg files in
/etc/texmf/updmap.d . I kept it there, so it mounts lm.map itself (is
it used anyway in ConText?).
i don't use updmap at all
context loads map files on demand (when configured in cont-sys.tex)
when no cont-sys.tex is present, then cont-sys.rme is used
the presense of those files in /etc is disturbing (and strange since tex
has pretty well layed out tree with defined configuration places)
i have no idea how tex + friends can/will locate those files
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 )
because that one has been dropped long ago
\usetypescript[adobekb] [your encoding]
(see type-akb.tex)
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?
hm, i always lowercsase all fonts on installation (font vendors make a
mess of case in names)
For me the disturbing things are starting to prevail in my ConText
experience. Is it supposed to be like that?
depends; fonts are always an issue; also, wanting to handle fonts
(names) in context as in latex, you end up in constant changes and updates
btw, esp the last few years, there has been many changes in fonts
(locations of files, map syntax changes), etc etc
