It was a MiKTeX package, so I'm relying on that being up to date. Don't rely on it. MikTeX has just updated ConTeXt (after two months). Once during the last weekend and once on Monday (5.9.). However, the format is from 27.7., 6 official releases ago. Minimal ConTeXt distribution (or replacing some files in teTeX for example) is the best way if you want to keep up-to-date. (MikTeX has some other advantages however.) Thanks for the tip. texexec --version tells me context : ver: 2005.06.27 cont-en : ver: 2005.06.27 fmt: 2005.8.31 mes: english which is pretty uncool. I guess I'll give the mswincontext.zip a try. I've hesitated because I don't see any clear instructions anywhere and the directory structure in that zip file is unusual for a Windows distro. Also don't want to ditch MiKTeX entirely because I'm experimenting with LyX. Sigh... How about just installing ConTeXt myself on top of MiKTeX? Should work, right?

Should work, right? just unzip the file in some safe place, running 'setuptex' (in a dos box) should give you an isolated tex environment; it's on my agenda to provide a miktex bintree as well, but only for testing since miktex has a rather good update mechanism (no reason to duplicate that -) [my main reason for putting the minimals on the web is that they provide isolated environments, which is somethign i need for projects]; they also demonstrate what is needed for context By isolated tex environment I presume you mean an environment that only runs in that dos box. Is that right? Does that isolated environment clash with another TeX installation (i.e. MiKTeX in this case)? I'm led to believe TeX installations are very territorial: they can't tolerate other installations on the same computer!

[NTG-context] Problem following OpenType installation basics for ConTeXt article
Greetings (first post), Adam Lindsay's recent article OpenType installation basics for ConTeXt in The PracTeX Journal (http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/lindsay) is very well written. Unfortunately, I was unable to perform the first step. As the article specified, I ran the command: $ texfont --ma --in --ve=public --co=torunska --lcdf --pre --va=liga,kern It started off OK, but failed to properly create the map file. Selected output follows: extending map file : E:/MiKTeX/local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.map font identifier : AntykwaTorunska-Bold - text - tfm processing files : otf - tfm + enc otftotfm: './AntykwaTorunska-Bold.otf': No such file or directory no mapfile from otftotfm : texfont.map font identifier : AntykwaTorunska-BoldItalic - text - tfm processing files : otf - tfm + enc otftotfm: './AntykwaTorunska-BoldItalic.otf': No such file or directory no mapfile from otftotfm : texfont.map [and so on for each .otf file] So, otftotfm is claiming that the files don't exist, but they absolutely 100% do. Perhaps it's looking for them somewhere else? Does anyone have any suggestions? Regards, Gavin ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
