The typearea module fails on LMTX (runs ok with MkIV):

tex error > tex error on line 89 in file /usr/local/share/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex: Missing number, treated as zero Sorry, forgot the MWE:

\usemodule[typearea] \starttext\null\stoptext

To fix the module you have to change the line \edef\Ratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr2\paperheight/(\PageWidth/32768)\relax}} with (remove one pair of curly braces) \edef\Ratio{\withoutpt\the\dimexpr2\paperheight/(\PageWidth/32768)\relax} Similar problems can happens with other modules because many of them are outdated and they should be either updated or removed (the files can still be archived).
