Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in
whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that
experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking
recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your
page allright.
1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but
in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a
difference?
2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at
one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem.
Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway?
I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some
trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in
Linux and Xfce anyway.
Cheers -- Thomas

And don't forget to do this before coding :
1) cd /home/[...]/context/tex/. setuptex
This command answers this : "Setting "/home/JohnDoe/context/tex" as ConTeXt
root."
2) Then : cd .../context/tex/texmf-win64 (or linux64) with a x64 computer
3) Then type :
context --generate
and type : context --make
4) Finally, if you add fonts (in /usr/share/fonts, or $HOME/.fonts), don't
forget to reload the font database (in the same depositery as 3)); the command
is as follow :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
In order to see which fonts are installed on your system:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
To search a font (like didot) :
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*didot* --all
All these commands are the same on windows/linux/OS X

Hope that ich sende nicht Eulen nach Athens !

Objet: Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks
Whew, I've got it running, finally.
For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:
name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
--tree=/usr/local/context/tex <-- this is the one!
--autogenerate
--script
context
$fullname
In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have
/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
/usr/local/context/bin
as the top two entries.
I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.
Thanks for listening -- Thomas
