Hello, I'd like to include a short quote in classical greek with all diacritics in a ConTeXt document which is otherwise plain english. What is a good way of doing this? Do I need to change the encoding? Thanks, Matthias
Matthias— I would recommend using Thomas Schmitz’ Greek module (http:// modules.contextgarden.net/t-greek). It works very well for me. Alan On Jan 29, 2006, at 1:19 PM, Matthias Weber wrote:

Thanks, Alan, this package looks nice, but I can't figure out where to put things, despite instructions... I unzip texms.zip and get two directories, which I am supposed to put into the texmf tree. I tried it with the directory (on my Mac) /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ and put all files form the downloaded texmf.zip into the corresponding subdirectories (is there an easy way -- on a Mac, I had to authenticate each copy). Then I ran sudo texhash and sudo updmap --enable Map tasgreek.map. The first time I got !!! ERROR! The map file `tasgreek.map' has not been found at all. and subsequent times "Map files not recreated.", which sounds suspicious. Then, running a simple test file shows that the greek module is being loaded, I get n error message, but also no greek text in the output :( Any hints? I probably have messed up my texmf tree now...

That's due to a change in the TeX Directory Structure. Try running sudo updmap-sys --enable Map tasgreek.map and see if that solves your problem. Good luck Thomas On Jan 30, 2006, at 1:01 AM, Matthias Weber wrote:

Oops, that means your TeX installation is really old. Are you using Gerben's distribution? I'd recommend upgrading unless there's an important reason why you wouldn't want to do so. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to help you with your problem on your current installation, I don't have access to a machine with such a system.

Hi Thomas,
I sticked with a 2005 release from last fall (very old???) to avoid
running into incompatibility issues with
current projects.
After updating (iinstaller), three things happen:
i) \eqalign breaks (as noted before on this list, I have to see
whether there is a fix... :(
ii) updmap-sys works without an error message :)
iii) TeXing my sample results in an apparent font problem. Log file
below. :(
I used
\setupgreek[font=Gentiumlun,scale=1.2]
Anything I can do about it?
Thanks,
Matthias

As afollow-up, I tried moving the font files some place else.
I first hat the font directory in
~/Library/texmf/
and then put them into
~/Library/texmf//texmf/
where they are apparently found, this time the log file says the font
metrics can't be found.
See below. Do I have to generate them?

Warnings like this used to mean that you had a mismatch where you have a virtual font (<name>.vf) file, but that the matching metric file (<name>.tfm) is not supposed to be a virtual font. This may be the thing that is confusing pdftex? Too many (.vf) files instead of missing files? Cheers, Taco

The release notes are here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.01.31 I'll do a formal announcement and CTAN upload tomorrow. Cheers, taco Matthias Weber wrote:

Just a quick question about the new release(s): I've seen that formats are now installed in $HOMETEXMF instead of $TEXMFLOCAL. Is there a reason for this change, and is it possible to have them installed in the old place? I preferred that way because it keeps everything in one location. Best Thomas

Depends on your tetex/texlive setup, I think. afaik, texexec calls kpsewhich to decide on the path to use. Taco

Which commands have you used for updating ? I follow the page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation , it works perfectly for me. -- http://vnoss.org Vietnamese Open Source Software Community

No, that's not the point, updating works. I just see that in my $HOMETEXMF, I now have a directory web2c/pdfetex where format files are stored. This directory has been created on Jan 25, at one of the latest updates. I haven't changed my texmf.cnf, so the behavior of texexec --make has changed during one of the last releases, I guess 2006.01.16. And I'm just wondering if I can have the old behavior back as I prefer it. All best Thomas

I downloaded the latest release from yesterday, and it doesn't create a web2c directory in my $HOMETEXMF anymore, so either a problem has been fixed, or I did something wrong to get this result. Sorry for the noise. Thomas

There are no pertinent changes to texexec (going back to 20051218) so if you are right about the date, it has to be something in your local environment that has changed. Cheers, Taco
