most fptex installs are more recent than current (beta) tetex, which fptex "follows". in my old install, i have: % Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages, % help texts, font names, control sequences. These values apply to TeX and MP. pool_size.context = 750000 pool_size = 250000 % Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least % 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large. string_vacancies.context = 45000 string_vacancies = 25000 % Maximum number of strings. max_strings.context = 55000 max_strings = 30000 % min pool space left after loading .fmt pool_free.context = 47500 pool_free = 5000 but there's no distinction in the current beta between context and "the rest", and all the values are *much* bigger. perhaps try the beta stuff i have pool_size = 1250000 pool_free = 47500 max_strings = 100000 string_vacancies = 90000 iirc, you have to regenerate formats after changing these values robin
