so, the file actually is named with an 'x' ; luatools (i.e. the file
handler written in lua) can handle mixed cases in a way that it will
always resolve to the syetem filename, here the one with th elower case
x; so i guess that kpse is reporting wrong
is there an alias file involved (i ignore that one, actually alias files
are not supposed to exist any longer)

[NTG-context] luatex on debian
debian (unstable,testing?) users can get a snapshot release of luatex in
apt package form.
This works for me, but there are a few things that needed slight adjustment, so
I wanted to report them here to encourage others to start testing it.
I needed to set TEXMF=/etc/texmf. Luatools doesn't seem to handle the {..}
in the variables that are combined in TEXMF. Also, when it didn't find
AlProTex.sty, the message indicated that it couldn't find AlProTeX.sty
('x'-->'X')!
For testing, you can just set some simplified TEXMF, e.g.,:
export
TEXMF={$HOME/texmf,/usr/local/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-texlive,/usr/share/texmf}
or you can edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf to simplify things like:
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex}
In my case, I no longer have texmf-textex, so this became just
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-texlive
Then run: "update-texmf" and "luatools --generate"
You can check the TEXMF variable with:
$ luatools --expand-var TEXMF
More tests to make sure the configuration is working:
$ luatools msam7.afm
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/bluesky/ams/msam7.afm
Then build the format:
$ luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
and compile something:
$ texexec --luatex foo
TeXExec | processing document 'foo'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file foo.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 967
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.11.2-2007092410 (Web2C 7.5.6)

I could send you a patch to remove those black boxes, but you won't be able to put them over the character before it, so that won't help you at all. TeX needs accent specification before the character. A combining accent after the character cannot be handled, at least not in pdfTeX - XeTeX and LuaTeX should be fine with it. Can you try to convert the text again using pdftotext -enc UTF-8 your-pdf-document.pdf and copy that text into the main document? > 2. if we compile with XeConTeXt the resulting pdf simply skips the accents > (e.g an accented glyph is rendered non accented) The default font (LM) doesn't work properly with any version of ConTeXt prior to 2007.09.28. But if you load some system font, the accents should work OK. If you are using XeTeX, I strongly recommend you to use both the same version of ConTeXt. The one from January and the one form September differ considerably. (Even with the latest one I have some problems again - I need to figure out where the problem is, but it's nothing critical.) > More: > We can't do > ctxtools --updatecontext > > it complaint it cannot fetch the zip Download the zip manually and unzip it to the folder where the old ConTeXt resides. Run mktexlsr and texexec --make [--xtx] --all. updatecontext doesn't do anything else.

Hi Hans,
nearly perfect but can I also test if the requested figure did really exist
with
something like
\doiffigure{\framedparameter{backgroundimage}}{\backgroundimage{...}}.
I hope there will be a hidden feature section in the ConTeXtbook with all of
ConTeXt's
little features I don't know at the moment.
Wolfgang
