Feet is an establish and proper unit of measurement, which consists of 12 inches. It is used by, at least, several hundred million people. It can be said that the ability to grok and manipulate fractions has many benefits, which the metric system sorely lacks.

Re: [NTG-context] \typefile not including file and returning success
The context wiki says:
"When no file extension is specified the extension .tex is assumed."
Yes an error message should be displayed.
By chance, do you have a file named "bar.tex" that would prevent this from
being an error?

[NTG-context] How to use a variable in a macro agrument
I have a need to use a logo graphics file several times in a document.
I somethings need to update to a newer graphics file.
I only want to make one change to the original variable value definition.
I've tried using \define.. but it's not working for me.
Here is my MWE:
\define[]\logofile{an_image_file.png} % Here defining the variable with the
filename to use.
\definelayer[stillimage]
\setlayer[stillimage]{\externalfigure[\logofile]} % Here trying to use the
\logofile macro.
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=stillimage]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
What's the accepted way to do this or are macro arguments not allowable?
Thanks

Re: [NTG-context] mwe (font proble) SOLVED
Solved. Well almost. I do know that it's an access problem of some sort.
I used 'font-manager' to look at fonts and it showed 'DejaVu Math Tex Gyre' as
"disabled"
For su is shows the font as usable.
When context is run su, it compiles successfully.
So the fonts are there. The example does work, but, not for me as user.
I for some reason have the some fonts disabled.
I'll figure out how to enable them.
Thank you all for your time. I'll post back when I know what to do in case any
future user has this problem.
Thank you

Nothing is done before the sample shown above.That is all that is in the
.lmtx source file.
From looking at the errors, I agree, it looks like there are no math fonts or,
they are not visiable to context.
I need advice on how I can remedy that.
What do I need and what do I need to do to install them if I don't have them
already on disk.
I assume that they are not distributed with the shelll script.
Thanks

[NTG-context] minimum working example plus (output)
Here is the minium not-working example which I took from the Wikigarden a few
minutes ago.
\def\T#1{%
\startitemize[#1,joinedup]
\item This is a bullet of type #1.
\stopitemize
}
\starttext
\dorecurse{9}{\T\recurselevel}
\stoptext
Compiling this into a pdf file with context produces an error.
I've pasted the complete context typesetting run to show the error, in hopes
that it will shed some light on what's wrong with my setup. I have a feeling
that the stand along install is missing some vital part of the installation
regarding fonts, and that it's not noticed by the majority of you since those
items are still on your system from legacy versions.

This is normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 " I don't know what special math fonts there are or what a math family slot is.
