Hi all,

Hello, I try to update ConTeXt using "ctxtools --updatecontext" but CtxTools is "unable to fetch cont-tmf.zip" (even though I was able to download that file from the Pargma website.) Is my Ctxtools broken? or is there an alternative way to update ConTeXt (I use the MacTex distribution)? Thanks, Jelle
Hi Jelle,
do you have to use a Proxy?
In my ctxtools.rb i changed the line:
http = Net::HTTP.new(site)
to:
proxy_addr = 'my.proxy.de'
proxy_port = 80
http = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port).new(site)
After that an update via ctxtools was possible.
The bad thing is, that i have to change it everytime before an update :-)
Since ruby treats tha call to Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr,
proxy_port).new(site)
without giving proxy_addr and proxy_port the same way as Net::HTTP.new
(site),
perhaps Hans can change ctxtools.rb in this way.
I would like to have a command line like:
ctxtools --updatecontext --proxy:my.proxy.de --proxyport:80
Greetings
Lutz

Hello, I have another question about installing updates. I have downloaded the zip-file from the Pragma-website. Is there a way I can tell ctxtools that the file is already on my computer? or do I have to use another program to install the update? (I just hope that I don't have to figure out where to put these files by hand ;-)) Greetings Jelle

I must admit that I always do this manually, I never use ctxtools. If you've already dlded the file, just unzip it. From the command line: kpsewhich -expand-path='$TEXMFLOCAL' will tell you the location of your local tree. cd to this tree, then just unzip the cont-tmf.zip (probably using sudo, overwriting all files that may already be there) and regenerate the formats, and you should be in business. Good luck Thomas

Of course I can do it manually, but since there is a tool for it, why not use it? Greetings, Jelle

Same problem and same question here. Remaking format files doesn't solve the problem. :-( Jelle

The problem lies here: \definefontsynonym[Dummy] ['\typescripttwo:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyItalic] ['\typescripttwo/I:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyBold] ['\typescripttwo/B:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic]['\typescripttwo/BI:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc] Some definitions have indeed been changed, but no keyword equivalent for mapping has been introduced yet. (Adding file:, name:, ... broke that functionality ...) There is a workaround (quick fix) for this (at least it seems to work here), but this is not a nice solution. You can add the following definitions at the beginning of the document (or fix the corresponding places; also for sans ad mono): \starttypescriptcollection[xetex] \starttypescript[Xserif][all][name] \definefontsynonym[Dummy] [name:\typescripttwo] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyItalic] [name:\typescripttwo/I] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyBold] [name:\typescripttwo/B] [encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic][name:\typescripttwo/BI] [encoding=uc] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \def\fontfilename#1{"#1:mapping=tex-text"} But there is a meeting today anyway ...
