Hi Asim,

Before typing : set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts you have to go to /context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/ and type : set PATH=%PATH% (if your Windows system is 32 bits Windows, modify the command).


Then : set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts

After that, in the same directory (/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/) type :

1) context --generate then 2) context --make

3) In order to reload all fonts installed in c:/windows/fonts, type the following command :

mtxrun --script fonts --reload

You may verify the installation of any font with the following command :

mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=AnyFont* --all (you can play with * before and/or after the Font name))

Hope that helps,

JP


Thank you.

I want to use MkII because, as far as I know, MkII uses pdfTeX; which is stable. While MkIV uses LuaTeX; which is yet in development. Further, pdfTeX is better at microtypography.

Am I correct at these two points? I would like to hear from you.

I found that my system fonts are located at c:\windows\fonts, so I added this address in front of OSFONTDIR in texmf.cnf file. But it still is not working, although the previous warning message has now gone. ConTeXt now silently stops the processing and does not give any output file.

It looks lime you need to set the environment variable OSFONTDIR, which should point to the directory where your fonts are stored.

Dear list members,

I am new to ConTeXt world. I have installed ConTeXt Standalone according to the instructions given in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks and instructions given in Windows Installation. I added the address of context.exe into the Processing Tools of TeXworks, according to instruction # 6 in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks and compiled a simple ConTeXt document, it works fine. But I want to use texexec (MkII), I had installed Ruby according to the instruction 1. I added address of texexec.exe to the Processing Tools of TeXworks; but when I try to compile the simple document, it does not work and gives the following warning and stops without giving any output pdf file:

warning: c:/Users/bsee1206/Desktop/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on line: OSFONTDIR =.

Any suggestions?
