[NTG-context] Keeping Ctx versions (was: Re: spacing)
Hello Henning,
I go similar way as Alan does - I'm updating ConTeXt (usually) once a week
while keeping backups of the previous versions.
My experience is that cca once a year I'm forced to get back to a previous Ctx copy as something
stops working (IIRC, there some issues with switching to Lua 5.2 and now to Lua 5.3, an issue with
Lua sorting alg which probably added a sortaity check at a point, a TickZ issue - all has been
passed successfully over time (.dll rebuild with upper Lua releases, my fault in sorting alg,
...)), but some time later I "boarded" back to the
"train-of-ConTeXt-beta-releases".
I'm working on Windows (W7 and WX) - so for the case you were interested, I'm
attaching some batches to save & update ConTeXt beta (call ReNew.bat from your
Ctx installation direcory (d:\Ctx-Beta in my case); and also you need to have 7z
installed which is used to zip the latest ConTeXt installation before update; .ba_
to be renamed to .bat).
Best regards,
Lukas

If it may be useful: I keep a very short-term backup so that when
things "break" or change, I can easily backtrack to a working copy.
I update using the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
CONTEXTHOME=${HOME}/context
if [ ! -d ${CONTEXTHOME}/beta ] ; then
mkdir -p ${CONTEXTHOME}/beta
fi
if [ ! -d ${CONTEXTHOME}/previous ] ; then
mkdir -p ${CONTEXTHOME}/previous
fi
cd ${CONTEXTHOME}/beta
echo "*** move current to previous ***"
rsync -av --delete --progress . ../previous
echo "*** update beta ***"
rsync -ptv --progress rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
2>&1 | tee first-setup.log
./first-setup.sh --modules=all --fonts=all --engine=luatex 2>&1 | tee -a
first-setup.log
This will not help against any undetected changes that may go unnoticed
for a while between different projects, but does protect me against
immediate "bugs".
Hans has suggested keeping a ConTeXt standalone copy in each separate
project file, as it is small enough that such duplication does not take
up too much space. (As we strip-down the distribution and as storage
space becomes bigger and bigger, this should not be a problem.) The
advantage of having a copy associated with a project is that one can
come back, years later even, and produce *exactly* the same output.
Alan

[NTG-context] Problem installing a new font
Hello, -- all attachments packed into one .zip -- probably one of the basic questions and skills in ConTeXt, but the first case for me: how to install a (downloaded third-party) font into ConTeXt: I downloaded font source files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/aurical/ and I unpacked the .zip content, so I have now (see FileList.txt for full info): d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\FileList.txt d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\map d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\tfm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1 d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm ... d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1\public\aurical\LukasSvatbaSlant.pfb Trying to install the font the easiest way, I also copied files into my ConTeXt dir, so I have also (see FileList2.txt): d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.afm ... d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.pfb ... I tried to follow instructions in 'mfonts.pdf' mentioned at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts, but early I failed with (unknown) "texfont" command cited here frequently. I also experimented somehow with "mtxrun --make --generate" and "mtxrun script --font --reload --force" and with a simple show-font file which starts with: \definefont[FONT][AmiciLogo.afm] ... but the result is not written by AmiciLogo font. So - how to make ConTeXt aware of a third-party font and how to use the font in the document? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
