The windows minimal exe installer

Hi, For automatic environment setup, I think there are two values should be changed for better directory support: TEXMFCNF --> ...\texmf\web2c (why did it find texmf-local/context on my machine ?) TEXMF ---> {...} // add values like texmf-fonts, texmf-project, texmf-extra, etc. defined in setuptex.bat. Yue Wang

sometxt in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is a bug or if it's something that still needs to be implemented: the example on p. 10 of Mojca's sometxt MyWay works in mkii, yet in mkiv, it doesn't: \starttext \startTeXtexts \dorecurse{12}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{\recurselevel}} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode numeric r; r = 1.5cm; draw fullcircle scaled 2r; for i=1 upto 12: draw (origin--down) scaled 4pt shifted (0,r) rotated -30i; label(sometxt(i), up scaled .75r rotated -30i); endfor; \stopMPcode \stoptext in mkiv, I get no labels and the somewhat cryptic sentence "[do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]" on my pdf. Anybody able to answer this or my question? All best Thomas

german Umlaut 'ß'
by Goebel, Juergen 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, My next problem seems to be the german umlaut 'ß'. Running the following example delivers only six of the seven wanted characters, while the 'ß' is left blank. I'm not sure whether this might be a problem with my editor WinEdt, but I'm sure you can show me the right direction.

\language[de] ?
by Goebel, Juergen 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, Doing my first steps with ConTeXt (after about ten years experience with LaTeX) I was running into the following problem. Running the enclosed example I got still the english version (as can be seen in the 'Contents'-title of the TOC). % language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex \language[de] \starttext \completecontent Test äöü \stoptext I'm using ConTeXt version 2003.9.25 (fmt 2004.8.31) - rather old, I know, but I don't believe that this might be the source of my problem since the manual is older ... Regards, Jürgen
