[NTG-context] Greek Font Problem SOLVED
Thanks to the very kind and patient efforts of Thomas Schmitz, I no longer get ugly bitmaps in typesetting Greek but lovely script. I am posting the solution to the problem in the hope that it might prove useful to others. PROBLEM: bitmap display of Greek fonts on typesetting. These fonts (Teubner, Oxonia, Leipzig, Ibycus, Kadmos, Bosphoros) come in a package obtained from Thomas. SOLUTION: 1. remove/trash teTeX folder(s) 2. reinstall teTeX (TeXLive 2004) using iInstaller 3. re-install ConTeXt updater these first three steps were necessary because my installation of teTeX had become corrupted 4. in Terminal execute ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf 5. copy cont-sys.tex into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/ 6. move the file greek.map into ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/greek.map 7. in Terminal execute sudo updmap --disable greek.map and then sudo updmap --enable Map greek.map I will happy to send those interested a copy of cont-sys.tex. (Thomas prepared this file by modifying cont-sys.rme) Alan ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Thomas
I am a novice at Unix and the intricacies of Gerbens distribution. So
I am probably missing something. But, thus far, the only cont-sys.rme
file that I have found is at the end of the path
(a) /Library/TeTeX/share/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme
(b) inside the teTeX alias
folder /share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme
and it does not contain the lines you say should be commented out.
The file header is:
%D \module
%D [ file=cont-sys,
%Dversion=1995.10.10,
%D title=\CONTEXT\ Miscellaneous Macros,
%D subtitle=System Specific Setups,
%D author=Hans Hagen,

OK, I see. Gerben's installer copies context into texmf.tetex, my bad.
The path should be texmf.tetex/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme;
everything else like in my first message. If you ever install a newer
version of context into texmf.local (e.g. by dloading the latest
release and unzipping it), you'll have to repeat these steps. Good
luck!

On my system the sub-folder texmf.local/tex/context contains one
folder /config and this has only one file in it, /cont-usr.tex.
The path to this texmf.local folder is
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local.
I am puzzled by this: I have relied on i-Installer to set up the
latest version of TeX Live 2004.

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem
Alan,
that's the right file, though if you use Gerben's installer, the teTeX
directory in /Library is a symlink to /usr/local/teTeX (not the other
way round). I have the same installation and the same file. Are you
sure it doesn't contain those lines? It should, and mine does. How did
you open it? I suggest we make further communciation off list if you
don't mind. I can send you my edited version of the file, but it would
be instructive if you could edit it yourself.
Best

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem
Alan, had the same problems here. My workaround (I'm not sure if it's a solution): find the file texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme. Comment out the following lines: \autoloadmapfilestrue \resetmapfiles \loadmapfile[original-base.map] \loadmapfile[ec-base.map] \loadmapfile[8r-base.map] \loadmapfile[qx-base.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-base.map] \loadmapfile[original-ams-cmr.map] \loadmapfile[original-ams-euler.map] \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[original-public-plr.map] \loadmapfile[original-public-csr.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[ec-public-lm.map] Save the file to cont-sys.tex (you'll probably need root privileges to write to this directory). Rerun context, should be as good as new.
