hi there,
my second question, is more like asking for pointers...
where can i read more about fmtutil, and how come that context does not use it when (i assume) pdftex does?
Fmtutil is used to generate the necessary format files to run tex. - Context provides this within texexec. So generating the formats becomes simply texexec --make en metafun mptopdf i.e. a list of requested formats. even shorter this is texexec --make all.. This will however generate formats which you will never use. But nowadays, where diskspace is no issue :-) Kind regards Willi
--\startquote--------------------------------------------------- Cleanup fmtutil
Optionally, you can remove ConTeXt support from teTeX's configuration, because ConTeXt does not use fmtutil.
Using
# fmtutil-sys --edit
you can comment out the lines for metafun,cont-en, and mptopdf
And you can use
# cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c && rm -f cont-en.* metafun.* mptopdf.*
to remove the old (fmtutil-generated) formats.
