Hi, I've felt into same pb's trying to compile s-pre-61.tex directly from it's original source. As far I can see (just to the surface of the screen in fact) it's related to a specific font installed at Pragma, not available for everyone as is. if I replace or uncomment : \usetypescriptfile[type-ghz] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,18pt] and put such general font switch like : \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern,ss,11pt] it compile without pbs. Your installation seems rather old Cordialement -- Olivier TURLIER Formation & Métiers CRP La Rouguière 101 Bd des libérateurs 13367 MARSEILLE cedex 11 tel : 04 91 18 56 00 fax : 04 91 45 14 48
