Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem

6 Jun 2007

      If you don't need the very very latest version, do yourself a favor  
and download the gwTeX installer from

http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html

It's big, but it does it with one click, and it's only a month old.

On the other hand, it would be convenient if we could quickly upgrade  
to the latest ConTeXt on a Mac.

ctxtools --update

gives me

unable to fetch cont-tmf.zip

All,
I got myself in trouble by using gwTeX  i-installer and tried to use
Context Updater. The result was that the format files didn't match
the base files (error message). Then I tried ctxtools --update. Now I
have the font problem error described below.
Here's part of a log file prior to my problem.

You can see that it is using this path:  usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs.
After my attempts at updating, note that it is now using an entirely
different area of my tex tree:

I think what I should have done after using i-installer, is try using
texmfstart texexec --make --all.
Not sure how best to proceed. Does ctxtools have an uninstall? Does
ctxtools install in texmf.local by default?

Neither option worked. I am now getting the famous error:
Transcript written on mfput.log.

<to be read again>
Usually this is because latin modern fonts are not present. Try to
download the fonts, unzip them in your texmf tree, run mktexlsr and
try
again.
