I must be making this way too complicated, anyway... I placed C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin ahead of TeXLive in my NT PATH (Windows 2000) so those binaries get called first. I tried to make the aleph format: ======================================================= C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump This is Alephk, Version 3.141592-1.15-2.1-0.0-rc4 (Web2c 7.5.3) (INIALEPH) %&-line parsing enabled. Copyright (c) 2002--2004 the Aleph task force entering extended mode (c:/ConTeXt/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex Preloading the plain format: codes, registers, parameters, fonts, more fonts, ! Font \preloaded=manfnt not loadable: Metric (TFM/OFM) file not found. <to be read again> \par l.468 ? ======================================================= It works fine in TeXLive. Another problem: how can I have both the aleph and the pdfetex formats? texexec --make en -tex=aleph overides the default cont-en.fmt made by texexec --make Question: how can I configure mktexlsr so that it updates both C:\ConTeXt as well as C:\TeXLive? best Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Dear fellow conspirators, more about my attempts to get times new roman working: I could find neither context.cnf nor type-mws.tex in the distribution. Anyway, here is my attempt at a typescript file: note that arial provides the companion sans serif: any comments will be appreciated. Question: What is "\typescriptthree"? I'm assuming there is also a [font:fallback:serif] option.

Times New Toman

Dear consortium, I'm having trouble preparing times new roman for ConTeXt. I'm trying to follow the instructions in mag-0009.pdf, but TeXfont does not want to behave:-( =========================================================== \system_fonts>texfont --vendor=microsoft --collection=times --encoding=texnansi --pattern=times*.afm TeXFont 1.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2001 (STILL BETA) processing aborted : unknown option --pattern=times*.afm =========================================================== I tried things manually without the --pattern option and got a texnansi-microsoft-times.tex file, from which I manually constructed a texnansi-microsoft-times.map file with four lines: =================================================== texnansi-raw-times 4 < times.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-timesbd 4 < timesbd.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-timesbi 4 < timesbi.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-timesi 4 < timesi.pfb texnansi.enc =================================================== I then tried manually constructing the tfm files with afm2tfm but alas... \system_fonts>afm2tfm times[bd|bi|i] ! no Adobe characters % LIGKERN ff l =: ffl ; ^ and empty tfm files Not sure where to go from here... I'm also going to need Arial from WINNT\Fonts as well... Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Ok, I followed the above. Now I have two trees, c:\TeXLive and c:\ConTeXt Issues: 1. I ``initialized'' the \ConTeXt tree and ran texexec --make but no aleph format, so a batch file is called: cd C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c aleph --ini *plain \dump texexec --make en -tex=aleph aleph --ini *cont-en but... C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump ! aleph.pool doesn't match; otangle me again (or fix the path). How do I get aleph working? 2. How do I get my OS to recognize/prioritize the C:\ConTeXt tree (when I call texexec from my editor it still calls from c:\TeXLive)? Do I have to uninstall ConTeXt from my c:\TeXLive path? What is the cleanest way to do that? 3. I presume that \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf is the one texexec --make uses. Have you already optimized/tested \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf for aleph (there were a few issues as you may recall...)?

critical editions in context
by Thomas A.Schmitz 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Sorry if this is a double post; I sent this message on Friday, and I think it somehow got lost. In March/April 2002, Hans and Idris had an interesting exchange about the topic "critical editions in context" here in ntg-context; the main question was whether the functionality of edmac could be implemented in context. I'd be curious to know whether anything came out of it, I couldn't find any follow-up. Best Thomas
