I have added some python things. Does MKIV use python in any way?
no, as far I know.
The directory is not a standard one, so I presume you have modified some variables. What does mtxrun --variables say ?
Maybe you have forgotten mtxrun --generate
I solved the wierd messages by a brute force method. I created a fresh slackware partition and whatever I did wrong was eliminated. Now, down to the fonts; the directory /usr/share/fonts and its subdirectories is a standard place to put fonts on a Linux system. Most of my other programs (Inkscape, Scribus) find those fonts without difficulty. I checked my permissions in that directory and subdirectories and they are not restrictive. I will link those fonts to a directory that Context searches. I just wonder why it worked before and not now. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
