I knew I need an installer. :-( I have downloaded the archive "t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip" from <http://modules.contextgarden.net/simplefonts
and placed this zip file in the place "/usr/local/context/ 2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local" and switched to the terminal:
---Terminal Output--- titus:~ jh$ su admin Password: ******** bash-3.2$ cd /usr/local/context/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local bash-3.2$ ls t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip bash-3.2$ sudo unzip t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip Password: ******** Archive: t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip creating: tex/ creating: tex/context/ creating: tex/context/third/ creating: tex/context/third/simplefonts/ ... bash-3.2$ ls doc t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip source tex bash-3.2$ sudo luatools --generate LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTOLOC set to /usr/local/context/ 2009-06-11-beta/texmf-osx-intel/bin LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTODIR set to /usr/local/context/ 2009-06-11-beta/texmf-osx-intel LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to /usr/local/context/ 2009-06-11-beta LuaTools | fileio: variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR, $SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c} LuaTools | fileio: loading configuration file /usr/local/context/ 2009-06-11-beta/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua .....
Then I tried a simple test file after using "luatool --generate" on my non-admin account: titus:wech jh$ luatool --generate titus:wech jh$ context myriad.tex ... ... /2009-06-11-beta/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv))) system : myriad.top loaded (myriad.top) fonts : preloading latin modern fonts bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : language en is active system : module simplefonts loaded (/usr/local/context/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local/tex/context/third/ simplefonts/t-simplefonts.tex loading : ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts ! Undefined control sequence. l.707 \startprocesscommacommand [\simplefonts!weight] ? ---Terminal Output---
Well, it seems that your instructions did basically work, since the module simplefonts is loaded. But nevertheless the simple test file aborts and complains about " Undefined control sequence. l.707 \startprocesscommacommand[\simplefonts!weight]".
Do you have an idea what went wrong on my side?
Yes. Although the module is found it crashes during initialization. Observe that --- \usemodule[simplefonts] \starttext This tests whether the module \type{t-simplefonts} is loaded successfully. \stoptext --- already hangs. The reason is that the latest version of the t- simplefonts module (which is the one you obtained) makes use of ConTeXt kernel commands (\startprocesscommacommand) which seem to have only been introduced lately. In other words, the version I packaged into the experimental installer is too old for the current module. So not your fault. Keep in mind though that this might happen frequently without warning since you're working with development code here. For the moment I'm merely trying to establish something along the lines of a nightly installer build ... since there's no regression test suite I can't even test whether anything works but the most basic features. Also, modules don't check for a minimum kernel version required :-( Best, Oliver
