Hi gang, I'm having trouble compiling the eomega format with the latest ConTeXt (6-21): \texmf-var\web2c>eomega --ini *plain \dump works, but then \texmf-var\web2c>texexec --make --alone en -tex=eomega eomega: unrecognized option `-translate-file=natural.tcx' Try `eomega --help' for more information. fails. On the other hand eomega --ini *cont-en works, but then I get e.g., executable : EOMEGA format : cont-en inputfile : decision output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 EOMEGA: unrecognized option `-translate-file=natural.tcx' Try `EOMEGA --help' for more information. Please help! Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Hey Patrick, all, I like the wiki a lot. Thanks for getting it going! It's a nice, quick way to get hints out there. As a result, I wrote up a little font-usage hack that wasn't quite big enough for a MyWay, but that I wanted to share with folks: <http://members.ping.de:8062/context/show/FlexiFace> But enough of the self-promotion ;) There's a lot of good stuff up there. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

math in ConTeXt
by jimarin＠bayesinf.com 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

is ConTeXt prepared for math? I mean...can I do... $\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$ as I used to in LaTeX ? I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n. Jose

I have made texexec --make metafun to generate metafun format. And it said it generated it. But... I always get these messages kpathsea: Running mktexfmt metafun.mem fmtutil: no info for format `metafun'. when doing texexec --pdf to my tex-beauties... it seems that he goes for metapost after that... is there anything wrong here? thanks ! jose

correction

re: might be an error in ConTeXt file prop-mis.tex I had some difficulty with typesetting backgrounds. It seems there is an error in file prop-mis.tex (version 2004-06-21): token "\popsplitnegativeproperty" is never defined but "\popsplitoverprintproperty" is twice. I think the second one should be \popsplitnegativeproperty, because then the sequence \startbackground some text \stopbackground does typeset after regenerating the formats. Hope this helps.

Installation problem
by Matt Gushee 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hello, all-- I have just installed the latest (stable release of) ConTeXt on a "new" machine [details below], but texexec is not working properly. I keep getting the following error: sh: cont-en: command not found I have Googled for information on this problem, but the solution I found doesn't make sense to me. In response to a previous inquiry on this list, someone wrote: > but the absence of cont-en that is the > problem. Or if cont-en exists, it is not in your path or not > executable. But what exactly is this 'cont-en'? I have two machines with working ConTeXt systems, and neither of them has a command with exactly that name. So I imagine the reference is to a file named 'cont-en.<extension>'. But there is more than one such file, and none of them seems to be a type of file that would normally be made executable (nor are they executable on the machines where I have ConTeXt working). Any thoughts as to what's wrong? Oh, yes, my system is: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 teTeX 1.0.2 * Note that teTeX comes with an old and not-properly-configured version of ConTeXt. I unzipped the new package over that ... could something left over from the old ConTeXt be causing the problem?

Does anybody have a simple presentation style module that has no fancy border/frame graphics or buttons? I need all the real-estate of the screen for a presentation that has images that are tall and formulas that are wide. Thanks, --shiv--
