[NTG-context] Re: typearea
Hi, first of all, sorry for my late response. Many thanks to everyone who commented on my problem. With the change from the archive the module runs, also under LMTX. But: what does alphabets=3.1 or alphabets=2.6 mean? I see what is happening, but where can I get explanations about this and other terms? Thanks in advance!

As a module admin I could and would do that for this old stuff, there are more fixes that I’d like to apply, but we’re still waiting for a replacement for the Lioness server, if I’m not wrong.

Just define your layout yourself.
You can use the \averagecharwidth length to set the text width to a certain
number of characters per line but for now only only a few languages
are supported.
\mainlanguage[en]
\setuplayout
[width=60\averagecharwidth]
\starttext

A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure
out why I
needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The
TeXbook.)
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
Line 89 in the module should be the problem. But how can I solve it? I
think some lines in the module should be commented out. (An example
directly in the module?)
I thank you for any hint.
Greetings
Thomas
