Hi,

I am a user of Context from the old days, and usually don't need much help installing the software. However, I am needing to use Contextminimals for the first time, as Miktex 2.8 has dropped Context support.

My problem is that I have a lot of my own setups and personal fonts and Contextminimals seems to have some problem dealing with local setups. I am using MkII by the way but these problems seem to exist in MkIV also.

I have a font, Univers, installed to texmf-local with texfont and Context claims it cannot find the font definitions.

running texexec I get the following:

!pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file 8r-raw-punr8a): Font 8r-raw-punr8a at 432 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! TeXExec | runtime: 10.311

Then from command prompt, I type: C:\Users\Christopher>kpsewhich 8r-raw-punr8a.tfm c:/context/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/adobe/univers/8r-raw-punr8a.tfm

C:\Users\Christopher>context --version MTXrun | main context file: c:/context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.te x MTXrun | current version: 2009.10.27 16:35

How do I get Context to recognise the local setup?

can you check the TEXMF variable?

there should be texmf-local as well as texmf-fonts and texmf-project

(i normally put fonts in texmf-fonts)

This is set in several places, and I can never tell which takes precedence. But User Environment variable TEXMF is set to: {%HOME%\Library\texmf,c:\context\texmf,c:\context\texmf-local,c:\context\texmf-context,c:\context\texmf-mswin} Then we have C:\context\texmf\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Then we have C:\context\texmf-context\web2c\context.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Then we have C:\context\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Note I am also trying to use TEXMFHOME, but this problem also exists and fixing one may fix both.
