it should not bark on the cp8bit (btw the latest version should use natural.tcx which is in the context distribution, cp8bit is flawed and not really 8 bit [straight in-out mapping is needed for instance for

Hello Hans and Matt,
here is my solution:
in texexec.ini change
set TeXFormatFlag to
into:
set TeXFormatFlag to
(empty)
and run texexec like:
texexec --tex=pdfetex file.tex
this is because texexec checks
if ( $TeXFormatFlag eq ) {
if ($TeXProgram =~ /(etex|pdfetex)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = -efmt= ; # =2004 -fmt=
} elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(eomega)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = -eoft= ; # =2004 obsolete
} elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(aleph)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = -fmt= ;
} else {
$TeXFormatFlag = -fmt= ;
}
}
and $TeXProgram is not set to $TeXExecutable (why the two different vars?)

Hello Jose, I am trying to setup Arial fonts...I am quite a newbie to this ConTeXt thing... I have just done \setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt] cause \usetypescript apparently is not recognised in my ConTeXt (previous version to the latest update of these days) \usetypescript is an old command. Your ConTeXt surely knows about this command. what is the use of this \usetypescript thing? Well, typescripts are complicated. See Bill' page at http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html using Helvetica works for me: -- \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos,ss,12pt] \starttext foo \stoptext -- is Arial just a nickname for Helvetica sans-serif? Well, yes and no. There is no such thing as Helvetica sans-serif, because Helvetica *is* without serifs. And Arial and Helvetica are two different fonts, though similar looking and same metrics. But, depending on your setup, asking for Helvetica can result in using Arial in Acrobat Reader. Patrick ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Re: ConTeXt-Wiki
Hello Holger, [starting ConTeXt wiki at] http://members.ping.de:8062/ What kind of example documents do you think of? I guess that you know that the magazines on the main ConTeXt site have their source code included? I was thinking of all kinds of day-to-day documents, like the letter template I mentioned. I could not find one according to DIN-standards, so I did some trial-and-error experiments and created my own. What were the difficulties you ran into? Arguments for a collection could be: 1) Perhaps a comprehensive and classified collection of sample documents could spare others such time consuming trials. a) it is impossible to have a comprehensive collection of documents. There are too many faces ConTeXt has. b) It is hard to classify the documents. Two possibilities: 1) layout trickery macro hacking itemize weirdness crazy table fun or 2) letters articles poems magazines/newspaper Any other? Which one makes sense? 2) On the other hand, my template could for sure be further improved (beyond the level, I am capable of), so by putting it on a WIKI, I may get hints and feedback by others. Yes, that would be a great thing. This is actually the reason why I started this wiki (and texshow-web). What was your motivation for mentioning such a collection on the WIKI? Every 4 months this question arises on this mailinglist. (Not really true). Another advantage of the WIKI would be the following: I am often lost, when I try to remember, where I found a certain hint/trick/technique I am remembering. If there is a place where everyone can edit pages and include hints or links to information, then there would be no need to create more and more separate web sites about ConTeXt, because the content could be placed in the WIKI, or it could at least be linked from there. And (the best part!) there is a search field in the wiki. So if you have important information there, get it in a few seconds. But it is up to every user to add things to the wiki.
