I'm afraid that I don't understand this! I'm not using Debian TeX, but installed TeXLive Ed.9 (2003) on my Debian (3.0r) based Linux box.
Am I right in saying that an installation of ConTeXt from TeXLive is incomplete? Do I really have to fetch the latest ConTeXt from PRAGMA ADE to get those fonts working? Do I perhaps have to configure ConTeXt more before being able to use those fonts?
normally that should work, however - sometimes linxu distributions have preinstalled tex's or have the profiles adapted for tex installations, and that may clash - there have been some fundamental non compatible changed in the tex tree and extensions to pdftex so it's best not to mix old and new, i.e. best to update to the latest greatest
Well fetching large files from Internet is very time consuming when using a simple modem, which I do, with an average speed of around 4Kbytes/sec! So this isn't really an option.
actually, when you would install the minumal tree, you could use rsync to synchronize the differences and that is pretty fast
Isn't it possible to create the missing tfm files, which ConTeXt uses, from the fonts already present in /usr/TeX/texmf/fonts?
What if I install TeXLive 2004?
that should work ok; there is a special context tree on the dvd as well, with all documentation and such so that saves you some bandwidth Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
