Mojca, Well, I just finished installing gwtex, the newer version. It is in / usr/local/gwTeX. I am just finishing installing CM Super fonts. I'll then do Freetype, libwmf, and ImageMagick and ghostscript. Then I'll do the contextupdater. There's something about a preference pane but I haven't found that yet. At the moment, from my command line, I am finding the old tex. darnold $ which pdflatex /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex Advice welcome as I proceed.

GWTEX -- Uninstall before installing the new?
by David Arnold 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

All, GWTeX has some serious updates. Should I uninstall the deprecated tex before installing the new? Or can they both be installed at the same time (in case the new doesn't work well with my old files).

ConTeXt, hyphenation
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I've upgraded to the most recent version of ConTeXt now. I try to set Norwegian hyphenation by saying \language[no] \setuplanguage[no] however, as opposed to in the previous version, there are no hyphenations at all. I wonder if it is to do with the pattern file used – how do I set that? and how can I make sure that the correct patterns are used? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no
