Dear all,

I installed the latest version of ConTeXt (that is version 2006.05.11) and although some problems have disappeared, some other are still there. Indeed I thank Hans H. and all the wizards working with him for having fixed some of the issues reported previously.
For your information, I am using Gerben Wierda's ConTeXt updater, and running MacOS X 10.4.6. I list below three problems I can observe with some of my test files:

1) PostScript fonts declarations are not anymore working. For instance this

\starttext
\usetypescript[palatino]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]
Here we are using the font \fontname\font.
\blank
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext

is typeset with lmr. The same is true with times.

2) Generating a format with XeTeX, that is creating XeConTeXt, is now possible but still MetaPost code is ignored in the resulting PDF file. For instance this

\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPcode
    fill fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor red;
    fill fullcircle scaled 3cm shifted (2cm,1cm) withcolor
    transparent(1,0.5,green);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

works fine in ConTeXt, but gives nothing with XeConTeXt.

3) Even though typesetting a file with ConTeXt from within TeXShop works fine, still there is the warning

warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead

which means that some day those (like me...) who have not well understood how to switch to texmfstart (and in particular how to make it work...) are going to have big problems with the next releases of ConTeXt...

Best regards: OK
