Dear Hans, Thank you for your answer. Since it worked perfectly before, I created XeTeX-ConTeXt format using texexec --make --xtx en for a test and run "texexec --xtx file.tex". It run OK and I got a pdf output. I think that it is not only the font problem unless texmfstart uses fonts differently. So my wonder is what cause the difference between texmfstart texexec --xetex file.tex and texexec --xtx file.tex.(no output with errors and good output). I am sorry to list this which is the problem for me only. Since my TeX-knowledge is very short, I couldn't do anyting but testing. I'll upgrade to the latest version soon and see how it runs, although I am afraid of upgrading the current ConTeXt(05-11) to the latest one. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

some patches

Hi, I played a bit with texmfstart on the (so so slooooow Q3) mac and i think that i managed to get texmfstart working with less problems. I now also ship a texmfstart with all the used (context/ruby/base) libraries merged in (new undocumented feature) so that there is no longer a need to set the ruby lib path and/or move base files. The new version is uploaded. A next step is to get the stubs done in the right way (just texmfstart scriptname args) (btw, is there a clever way to avoid this sudo stuff and become real root?)

how to create texmfstart.exe?
by Christian Schenk 15 May '06

I would like to include texmfstart.exe in the MiKTeX distribution, but I don't know how to build texmfstart.exe. Is there a simple recipe (Makefile) I can start with?

ConTeXt utf support on apple mac
by Alex Mikhalev 15 May '06

Hello all, I am struggling to get a utf support for Context on mac working with cyrrilic (Russian). I am using this example: \enableregime[utf] \useencoding[cyr] \definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[russian] \starttext Мама и Папа % Some Russian characters \stoptext taken from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian And it produces pdf with words: 1 Mama i Papa I was following hints from wiki above - aft2tfm conversion for cm-super but with no luck.

Until a few minutes ago my Linux Slackware system dd not have a Ruby interpreter. Yet Context runs fine. I seem to remember something about some components of Context existing as Ruby scripts.

Table nesting
by nico 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hello, I try to nest some tables, but the following case crashes, telling about some tex capacity exceeded. But i don't really believe in some capacity problem since it works fine when removing the enclosing of \bTABLEbody \eTABLEbody. BTW, is there some method/option to change the space size between the cell rules and the cell content?

Re: [NTG-context] Bib-module: crossreferences

According to the > No, this doesn't work, but I believe there is a workaround by putting > \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}} > just before the normal \placepublications or \completepublications. I had to do use a \vbox to get it to compile. With \hbox I get: ! A <box> was supposed to be here. <to be read again> { l.9 \setbox\scratchbox={ \hbox{\placepublications}} ? (./bibdemo.tuo ! You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode. \nointerlineskip ->\prevdepth -\thousandpoint \dosomelistelement ...}}\endgraf \nointerlineskip \endgraf \allowbreak \list... \dodolistelement ...ement {#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6} \global \utilitydonetrue l.15 ...om-note-crossref}}{2::0:0:0:0:0:0:0::1}{1} ?

Dear Hans, Thank you for your work to make everything works fine, and I am sorry to ask you so many things. I made texmfstart working and created the format files using the commands texmfstart texexec --make en texmfstart texexec --make --xetex en It runs OK. I tested some files using "texmfstart texexec --pdf(or --xetex) "file.tex" and following results. 1. It runs OK for standard text using ConTeXt. 2. There are some warnings and errors for xetex files using XeConTeXt and there is no pdf output.

How to preserve a TeX token list across passes (the ConTeXt way)?
by Jyrki Ruuskanen 15 May '06

15 May '06

Ok, the module is read in cont-sys.rme with \usemodule[jtex]. It initializes the lists inside protect / unprotect pair with \newtoks \usedAbbreviations and \newtoks\usedReferences along with macro definitions. Abbreviations are introduced with \setAbbreviation[<key>]{<abbr>} {<meaning>}{<description>} which defines macros \<key> \<key>@meaning and \<key>@description. Each call to \<key> calls \writeutilitycommand {\addToList[\string\usedAbbreviations]{<key>}, so after the first run the .tui file has a number of "c \addToList[\usedAbbreviations] {something}" lines in it. Functionality is similar for the bibliography. The \cite command writes \addToList[\usedReferences]{<cite>} into .tui. So, the .tuo file should populate used* lists and I could typeset the list of used abbreviations in initialization order with \executeListIntersection[\abbreviations][\usedAbbreviations] {\printAbbreviation}. Same for used bib references. But well, lists remain empty. I'll attach the module and the .tui file. And excuse me, I have never ever used a mailing list. How am I supposed to answer to a certain message in the chain? Thanks guys. Jyrki
