Bug#338597: lmodern is unusable with context from the latest teTeX.
Package: lmodern
Version: 0.92-11
Hello, I am running debian unstable with the following packages installed:
ii lmodern0.92-11
ii tetex-base 3.0-10
ii tetex-bin 3.0-10.1
ii tetex-extra3.0-10
The CONTEXT distribution that is contained in the above tetex packages
requires the lmodern fonts in EC encoding. Unfortunately the lmodern package
currently in unstable contains the fonts in cork encoding. Since the lmodern
package is currently orphaned is there perhaps some sort of workaround, like
regenerating the .tfm files somehow?
Thank you,
Kostantinos Koukopoulos

I don't understand - AFAIK EC is the Cork encoding? Also, I cannot
reproduce this bug, which might be due to my lack of knowledge of
ConTeXt.

What is on your system the output of

Maybe you have some files installed in /usr/local/share/texmf, or your

Unfortunately the lmodern package currently in unstable contains the fonts in cork encoding. It is very likely that Konstantinos has a more recent version locally installed. See below. I don't understand - AFAIK EC is the Cork encoding? Also, I cannot reproduce this bug, which might be due to my lack of knowledge of ConTeXt. What EC and Cork encoding is exactly is quite tricky (see discussion on tex-fonts some months ago). However, I think the relevant thing is that the tfm files for lmodern got renamed at some point from 'cork-lmr10.tfm' to 'ec-lmr10.tfm' etc. The current lmodern package is identical to what's in teTeX 3.0, and i am pretty sure that teTeX 3.0 is 'self consistent', ie, the tfm files in teTeX 3.0 are those needed by ConTeXt as it is in teTeX 3.0. This gives us a big problem with the lmodern package. I don't know how we could update lmodern without updating ConTeXt in the teTeX tree. I am pretty sure, that current lmodern will *not work* with the ConTeXt in teTeX 3.0. :-( ConTeXt ver: 2005.10.27 fmt: 2005.10.29 int: english mes: english I have a different ConTeXt version: ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.10.25 int: english mes: english Actually, the ConTeXt version of Konstantinos is more recent than teTeX 3.0! cheerio ralf
