Sorry for reposting, but I'm really curious about this issue! I just had to reinstall my TeX installation (upgrade to OS X 10.4). After mucking around with my old TeX, I decided to reinstall, and I hit a problem: even though I ran updmap, ConTeXt doesn't seem to work with the fonts I installed myself unless I include the \loadmapfile [foo] either in the typescript or in the source file. This wasn't the case before. I also tried moving the mapfiles to texmf/fonts/map/ pdftex/context insteadt of just fonts/map/, but that didn't change anything. Am I missing something obvious, or is this the expected behavior? I much prefer to have system-wide mapfiles since I use LaTeX from time to time and want the same fonts available there. They work with plain pdfetex as well, it's just ConTeXt that gives trouble. So my question is: is this the new setup, are we supposed to load mapfiles this way, and what is the advantage over the old method? Thanks! Thomas

my guess is that you lost your local cont-sys.tex and that cont-sys.rme is used now; in there you will find \resetmapfiles so, in your case, you need a special version of cont-sys.tex (preferable in context/user so that it is not lost when you wipe out context/base) btw, in some future release i will drop context map files and stick to inline map entries, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hans, Adam, thanks for your replies! I just tried with Adam's version and my old version of cont-sys.tex, but it made no difference - do I have to rebuild the formats every time I change this file? I'll do more experiments this weekend, but will be away from my computer from tomorrow till Friday. Thanks for your help, I'll report back! Best Thomas On May 17, 2005, at 8:03 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Er, (something I still forget time to time), you definitely need to re- hash the TeX trees after installing the new cont-sys.tex, though. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

the file cont-sys.tex is read in at runtime, so there is no need to regenerate the format; when testing, watch the messages in the log with regards to map files 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
