Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

I see, thanks. I did use --engines=luatex. I was aware that Mark II had been superseded by Mark IV, but I hadn't realized that texexec was the same thing as Mark II. OK, so I won't worry about that issue any more. It seems that my only remaining problem is the aforementioned TeXShop issue. I will keep working on it. Best, Bruce

Also, FWIW, I note that de Boer's document, "LaTeX in proper ConTeXt" recommends compiling from the command line using texexec rather than context. This does not work for me. The command "texexec" exists, and I can run it, but it does not produce a .pdf file -- just a .tmp file.

That document is a very old one. Nowadays context is preferred to texexec (also known as Mark II or MkII). If you installed context with --engines=luatex you explicitly did not installed prerequisites for Mark II (pdftex with fonts etc.).
