while trying out the embedded web-server, choosing the fonttest will fail and cause the server to crash $ mtxrun --script server --auto mtx-server | running at port: 8088 mtx-server | document root: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | main index file: unknown mtx-server | scripts subpath: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | context services: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | locating script: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | loading script: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | return type: function mtx-server | saving script: function mtx-server | running script: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | performing action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested file: /favicon.ico mtx-server | unknown file: /favicon.ico mtx-server | handling error 404: Not Found mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua mtx-server | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua mtx-server | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua mtx-server | locating script: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua mtx-server | loading script: /home/vm/data/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua mtx-server | return type: function lua error : ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-hsh.lua:12: attempt to index a nil value (global 'font')

One can for instance make the mp images independent (include mp code from a file) and then also make small independent pdf files from them that then can be converted to svg using mutool / mudraw. You can try that concept with \startMPpage some mp code \stopMPage If we're only talking of 'kind of stand alone images' (not backgrounds behind texts and other ornamental mp images) I can think about some mechanism that does that automatic. In the end much is possible (given time and reason) and often not even that hard to do.

Question to installation ConTeXt from TeXlive
by Tomas Hala 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

Hi all, when one (eg. student) decides for customizing the Windows installation from TeXlive, 24 items will appear in the group of packages list. Because I have no experience with W. installations, I would like to ask which of them are relevant or possible to use with ConTeXt MkIV (on W.). (The aim is not to install unusable stuff.) Legend: %=I guess no +=I guess yes ?=I am not sure [translated from the Czech version of the Installer] + Additional fonts + ConTeXt etc. + LuaTeX + MetaPost and Metafont + Recommended Fonts + TeXWorks + Auxillary programmes for W. % Additional for LaTeX % Art Fields % Basic LaTeX % Basic (La)TeX % Publishing styles % Recommended LaTeX % Typesetting Games ? Additional formats ? Auxillary programmes for TeX ? Graphics, images, diagrams ? Math, nat. sci., comp. sci. ? Music ? Necessary programmes and files ? PSTricks ? Additional for BibTeX ? SW for graphics and fonts ? XeTeX etc. Thanks in advance. (After completion I can put it on the wiki.) Best wishes, Tomáš
