The kpsewhich was old as suggested by Mr.Hans Hagen and replaced it with new one provided by him. but still not working. I am attaching error file as generated by DOS. I am using miktex + win Edt in winXP. does other miktex updaters also have same error. IF not why in my update. I have already updated context twice from the internet as of 17 jun 05 update. can any one point point out what is wrong? upendran %------------------------attached error file--------- TeXExec 5.4.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing texformat path : 0 fixing engine variable : pdfetex executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : negative output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) cannot make cont-en.efmt (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) return code : 256 run time : 0 seconds total run time : 1 seconds H:\Documents and Settings\Upendran\Desktop> %---------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hmm. I'm not all that impressed with the looks of PrintFu's (US-centric) main print service, but people might find their del.icio.us-style collaborative PDF bookmarking fun: <http://yummy.printfu.org/yum.cfm/home> We might even link to some ConTeXt manuals, I suppose... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

\naarbox
by Alan C. Bowen 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

I have been reading through some of the source files (still working on that \note problem) and decided that I had better stop guessing what the English equivalent of \naarbox is. Is there a Dutch speaker who can tell me what I should replace this command with ? Many thanks. Alan

Pseudo Small Caps
by Vit Zyka 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi, on the http://contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps there is a recipe for: - generating Pseudo Small Caps by texutil, and - preparing typescript for variant \Var[SmallCaps] font switch. Example for Latin Modern: http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/smallcaps.pdf After that it is possible to write: \def\sc{\Var[SmallCaps]} { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bi Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\tt { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } {\ss { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } Example source: http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/smallcaps.tex Typescript http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/type-lm-var.tex Commands http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/make-pseudocaps.txt Have a small cups fun Vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

Apple Baskerville typescript
by Steven Lumos 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Does someone happen to have a typescript for Apple's Baskerville? My own attempt is below. I installed the font using fondu and texfont. The example file output by texfont works. I don't see anything obviously helpful in the log file. \starttypescript [serif] [baskerville] [name] \setups [font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Baskerville] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Baskerville-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Baskerville-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Baskerville-BoldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [map] [baskerville] [texansi] \loadmapfile [texansi-apple-baskerville.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [baskerville] [texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville] [Baskerville] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-Bold] [Baskerville-Bold] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-Italic] [Baskerville-Italic] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-BoldItalic] [Baskerville-BoldItalic] [encoding=texansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [baskerville] [texansi] \definetypeface [baskerville] [rm] [serif] [default] [encoding=texansi] \stoptypescript Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to design a new head for \chapter{...}, but I am new to TeX/ConTeXt and am having trouble. I would like my head to be something like this: http://www.geocities.com/arunswarup/images/title.png I know this a more a TeX-related rather than a ConTeXt-related problem thx -arun P.S. I have {\em just} started reading the TeXBook ... not enough to do it myself __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Re: [NTG-context] metafun not working
by piskala upendran 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hi all, I have installed a fresh gs view 4.7 and pstoedit 3.40 all latest version under windows. I installed pstoedit at H/program files/ghostgum directory. Generated new metafun.mem and udated at localtexmf/miktex/mem directory and texmf/web2c directories. MY makempy still complains about pstoedit is unrecogonised internal or external command. I did update the database and format files in miktex options. How do i tell the path of pstoedit to makempy? ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
