ConTeXt upgrade blues
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 01 Jan '07

OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient. now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local, rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not so simple. the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of the base files and then run sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined commands. texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test (which is in essence what the recommended shell script does) gives ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.12.30 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/sw/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex ! Undefined control sequence. l.16 \newcontextversion {2006.12.27 11:34} now, according to several web pages, ec-lmr12 can be found on pragma's web, but it's not there. any suggestions? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no

Hi Peter, Thanks. Ooops... I should read the syntax spec more carefully! :) Elliot Peter Rolf wrote: >you need the keyword 'number' to pass your page number.

Page numbering
by Elliot Clifton 01 Jan '07

Hi, I need to set the start number for the pages in my journal so that the numbering continues from the previous issue in the volume. After reading p77 of the manual I understand that I can use \setuppagenumber[number] to set the start number. Unfortunately, nothing happens and numbering starts from 1 as usual. What am I doing wrong? thanks, Elliot
