cp8bit is not found in the first line, but ok in the 7th.
Do you have an idea what is going on?
maybe some interference with cont-en.ini; does
texexec --make --alone
work ok?
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
runtime xslt processign and such]; next year we can use -8bit
(this whole 8 bit mess-up has been hauting me for years -)

In order for this file to be built, run texexec --make en de nl Yes, I knew about that, and had already created the en and nl formats (since I don't work with German documents at all, I don't need de, do I?). Just as a side note, why would the shell think the format is supposed to be a command? That makes me wonder if there is some incorrect quoting in the Perl script.

As I mentioned, I have two working ConTeXt installations with no such command. teTeX 1.0.2 * Note that teTeX comes with an old and not-properly-configured version of ConTeXt. I unzipped the new package over that ... oh, bad thing ;-) Yes, I suppose so. Well, I've deleted all the old ConTeXt directories, reinstalled the new version, copied the *.rme files to *.ini (or whatever they are supposed to be ... I think), regenerated the 'en', 'nl', and 'metafun' formats, and run texhash ... I'm still getting the same error. I also ran a diff comparing the texmf.cnf from the new installation with one from one of my working installation. The files are identical in everything related to ConTeXt. So, thank you both for your quick replies, but it looks like there's some other problem. BTW, this is a very new release of ConTeXt--June 16, according to the Pragma Web site.

They are symlinks, so yes, unzipping the new archive updated them. BTW, this is a very new release of ConTeXt--June 16, according to the Pragma Web site. Has anyone used this version successfully? The current beta is 2004.6.20 (see http://members.ping.de:8062/context/show/HomePage ;-) Okay, tried that, no change. I also tried creating /usr/bin/cont-en as a symlink to pdfetex and pdftex (not at the same time, of course). The results were, well, different: First, with cont-en as a link to pdftex: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex | | TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 | | executable : pdfetex | format : cont-en | inputfile : ut | output : standard | interface : en | current mode : none |TeX run : 1 | | This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw (Web2C 7.3.7) | I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! | |return code : 256 | run time : 1 seconds | | total run time : 4 seconds Can't find 'cont-en.fmt'? Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? Since, as I understand it, ConTeXt normally uses pdfetex, which would need cont-en.efmt. But it was worth a try. So then I tried pdfetex: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex | | TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 | | executable : pdfetex | format : cont-en | inputfile : ut | output : standard | interface : en | current mode : none |TeX run : 1 | | This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7) | This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7) | (/usr/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) | ** | !

Is that referring to natural.tcx (which comes from the ConTeXt distribution)? And what about pdftex.cfg? Indeed, it doesn't exist. But it doesn't exist on the machines where I have ConTeXt working, either. So I don't know if either of the above results are meaningful. Oh, by the way, the input file was this: \usetypescriptfile [type-utopia] \usetypescript [UtopiaFace] \showbodyfont [Utopia] \end And yes, the typescript in question is available; both it and this test file have worked for me on another machine. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USAHorses bear manure through [EMAIL PROTECTED] its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.) ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
