Newbie question ConText
Hi, I am a Latex (MikTex 2.4, WindowsXP Pro) user and I want to learn more about ConText. I installed ConText via the MikTex 2.4 package manager, and read some of the ConText manuals. I also compiled successfully some of the ConText tex samples, but I ran into a couple of problems : - First I would like to know the most recent stable version of ConText and where to get it. - Looking at the logs of some of the runs e.g. compiling the MetaFun manual, I am running into font problems. Error messages like : maketfm : No creation rule for font "ComputerModernSans-Bold" pop up. I saw some emails on this list dealing with the same problem, but I could not find a definite solution. Thanks for your help Kind regards W. Neimeijer

MikTeX alredy includes the latest version (2006.01.13): if you installed or updated after the 14th, you should already have the newest one installed. There are always some bugs left in there, but the version is just as stable as it gets. However, here's where you can grab the latest files at any time: http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm

In type-syn.tex the following definitions: \starttypescript [sans] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [ComputerModernSans] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [ComputerModernSans-Bold] ... \stoptypescript could be better replaced by the LatinModern alternatives I guess, but there's another definition in type-enc.tex, which should fix that: \starttypescript [sans] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern] % [default] \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernSans] [LMSans-Regular] \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernSans-Italic] [LMSans-Oblique] ... \stoptypescript I wonder why these definitions aren't loaded. I run into other problems when compiling, so I have no idea at which place this fails. Can you copy-paste the last ten lines (it's difficult to copy from command line, but if you use the right mouse button and some imagination, you can have some luck)? Which ConTeXt version are you using (texexec --version)? Mojca
