OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until
eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient.
now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the
most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local,
rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not
so simple.
the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of
the base files and then run
sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update
which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and
complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to
compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined
commands.
texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode;
input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test
(which is in essence what the recommended shell script does) gives
ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.12.30 int: english mes: english

now, according to several web pages, ec-lmr12 can be found on pragma's web, but it's not there.
It's not there any more since it was considered that they should either be present on the system already or that it would make sense to update the system anyway. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/lm/ gwTeX is based on a more modern TeX distribution (TeX Live 2006), but is going to be supported for just another 22 hours. (tetex isn't supported any more anyway.) Mojca

OK, the problem was solvable and I now have an up-to-date ConTeXt. the only remaining issue is that of hyphenation - the previous version, apparently had Norwegian hyphenation on by default. I managed to coerce ConTeXt into handeling it, but what is the canonical way to edit which hyphenation patterns ConTeXt loads when building formats? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe@extern.uio.no

hm, the name of the original patterns file has changed (another indication of minimal name management) % nohyph.tex -- manually created by Ivar Aavatsmark and others; % hyphenate according to pre-1973 rules; no longer recommended for use. % (Sometimes also known as nohyph1.tex.) % nohyph2.tex -- created by Dag and a student; the present file, % nohyphbx.tex, is more extensive and is recommended. because those pattern files are maintained in the latex proper, it goes unnoticed for us; anyhow, in ctxtools add the name nohyph @@languagedata['no' ] = [ 'ec' , ['nohyphbx.tex','nohyph2.tex','nohyph1.tex','nohyph.tex'] ] it seems that the mentioned older nohyph file is not even distributed anymore (interesting for users who want to process older docs)
the question is: is that original file in ec encoding (no time to check it myself) when the generated files are ok, i'll add them to the distribution Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
