Gerben, Taco,
OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local.
The current ConTeXt updater package does not contain a beta as there currently is no beta.
I have two type-tmf.dat.
lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat
This is the one installedby the ConTeXt updater
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat
This is the one that is part of teTeX's texmf tree
lm $
Does it matter which of these I use?
If you uninstall the ConTeXt updater, the one in texmf.local is uninstalled and you get the one in texmf.tetex. Note that that one is almost a year old.
Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things:
1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point?
Please do not go this route. If you really want to, read /usr/local/ teTeX/texmf.cnf and find out that TEXMFDIST does not exist in my setup. My setup does not mimick TeX Live here and the ConTeXt tools seem to be expecting TeX Live.
2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file?
I would advise against doing this just to compile the manuals. Wait until ConTeXt is fixed. G
