Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem

All, I got myself in trouble by using gwTeX i-installer and tried to use Context Updater. The result was that the format files didn't match the base files (error message). Then I tried ctxtools --update. Now I have the font problem error described below. Here's part of a log file prior to my problem. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.0-rc4 (Web2C 7.5.5) (format=cont-en 2007.1.3) 3 JUN 2007 20:21 entering extended mode (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/web2c/natural.tcx) **hans.tex emergencyend (./hans.tex ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.02 13:44 MK II fmt: 2007.1.3 int: english/ english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex \boislevel=\count210 (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkii)) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded You can see that it is using this path: usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs. After my attempts at updating, note that it is now using an entirely different area of my tex tree: context $ texmfstart texexec meta TeXExec | processing document 'meta' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file meta.top TeXExec | using randomseed 890 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.0-rc4 (Web2C 7.5.5) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) entering extended mode (./meta.tex ConTeXt ver: 2007.06.06 09:53 MKII fmt: 2007.6.6 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkii)) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)) Note the path: /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local I think what I should have done after using i-installer, is try using texmfstart texexec --make --all. Not sure how best to proceed. Does ctxtools have an uninstall? Does ctxtools install in texmf.local by default? On Jun 6, 2007, at 9:23 AM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

Neither option worked. I am now getting the famous error:

Transcript written on mfput.log. grep: rm-lmr7.log: No such file or directory mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rm-lmr7' failed to make rm-lmr7.tfm. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. !

Usually this is because latin modern fonts are not present. Try to download the fonts, unzip them in your texmf tree, run mktexlsr and try again.
