Hi,
I am a user of Context from the old days, and usually don't need much
help installing the software. However, I am needing to use
Contextminimals for the first time, as Miktex 2.8 has dropped Context
support.
My problem is that I have a lot of my own setups and personal fonts and
Contextminimals seems to have some problem dealing with local setups. I
am using MkII by the way but these problems seem to exist in MkIV also.
I have a font, Univers, installed to texmf-local with texfont and
Context claims it cannot find the font definitions.
running texexec I get the following:
!pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file 8r-raw-punr8a): Font 8r-raw-punr8a at
432 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
TeXExec | runtime: 10.311

Then from command prompt, I type:
C:\Users\Christopher>kpsewhich 8r-raw-punr8a.tfm
c:/context/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/adobe/univers/8r-raw-punr8a.tfm
C:\Users\Christopher>context --version

c:/context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.te

How do I get Context to recognise the local setup?
can you check the TEXMF variable?

This is set in several places, and I can never tell which takes precedence.
But User Environment variable TEXMF is set to:
{%HOME%\Library\texmf,c:\context\texmf,c:\context\texmf-local,c:\context\texmf-context,c:\context\texmf-mswin}
Then we have C:\context\texmf\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line:
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
Then we have C:\context\texmf-context\web2c\context.cnf with the
following line:
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
Then we have C:\context\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line:
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
Note I am also trying to use TEXMFHOME, but this problem also exists and
fixing one may fix both.
