is this new? weird as nothing was changed there .. anyway, i added a check
I believe that this is new (but did not test systematically). In any case, it should indeed be caught.
This shouldn't happen. After "mkdir $HOME/.fonts", context runs successfully.
Well, sort-of. luatex hangs on page 141, trying to place an external
figure:
hard to say what happens there .. only that image?
OK, I hunted it down. Now, with the current beta, context (mkiv) hangs when the external figure does not exist, or if it is a hanging symbolic link (pointing to a file that does not exist). Previously, this did not cause any problems, and a magnificent grey box containing the missing file name was placed. I found this to be a feature. Clearly, hanging as curently is a bug. Also, I had one case of a 5.8 Mb tiff figure that caused problems. Converting it to a 600 kb png now goes through. Was it the filesize or the tiff format that was a problem? Note that this figure did not cause problems before. Alan
