Re: [NTG-context] TeXLive and ConTeXt

Perhaps it is useful that I mention that this is a MkIV problem on my iMac with TeXLive (2018 version). Using MkII, also with XeTeX, everything ran right out of the box. For MkIV, I had to run a program to let LuaTeX find all the fonts, and then it worked. Robert

Hi, It is interesting (and a bit depressing) that my TL2018 install worked out of the box on my mac. Mine was a straight ‘tlnet’ install, but I did install into a directory where I have write permissions. Mostly so I would not have to mess with sudo, but I now suspect that made a big

Hi Taco, Actually context, luatex, lualatex and latex are all installed by TL2018 but the only one NOT working is context. This discourages many people to experiment with context before installing a standalone version. Best regards: OK > On 6 Jun 2018, at 17:19, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > >

Hi Otared, Since it works for me just fine (TL2018), a wild guess is that the installed TeXLive did not install the context scheme at all? Best wishes, Taxo > On 6 Jun 2018, at 16:54, Otared Kavian wrote: > > Hi all, > > I would like to report (with a rather bad humor) on an issue
