You will probably have to use the Terminal, but it's a less horrible place than you think. Gerben's TeX-installation expects to find .fmt files in this location: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-nl.fmt So what you do is: cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c sudo texexec --make nl give your password, texexec will automagically run texhash for you. That should be all. If you want to see if it works, look at the output of texexec --version which is, on my box: TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) context : ver: 2004.12.06 cont-en : ver: 2004.12.06 fmt: 2004.12.8 mes: english cont-de : ver: 2004.12.06 fmt: 2004.12.8 mes: german cont-nl : ver: 2004.12.06 fmt: 2004.12.8 mes: dutch total run time : 2 seconds HTH Thomas On Dec 16, 2004, at 10:22 PM, Robert Kroon wrote:
Hi,
Recently I've installed Gerben Wierda's teTeX distributon incl. ConTeXt on my iMac (Macos X, 10.3.6). Now I'm trying to learn ConTeXt. I'm marking up my documents in TeXShop, version 1.34. I can typeset small ConTeXt documents and generate PDF-files as long as the type setting commands are in English. However, I would like to use Dutch type setting commands like:
\starttekst Dit is een test \stoptekst
When I typeset this file from within TexShop I get following output and errors
<Begin screen message>

First my interface was en (english). As can been seen in the listing my interface language is now nl . I changed this under my root account with the command texexec --make nl en
My Texexec --verbose output under my user account is:

I believe that I'm doing things terrible wrong and I'm not that much used to use the terminal (as root, administrator or user) in Macos X.
Any tips how I can get my Dutch typesetting command from within TeXShop? Many thanks in advance.
