installationproblem with context-distribution: xetex not working
Hello,
I started this night the installation-instruction from:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation
and then i continued with: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX
texexec --pdf first.tex is working fine, but the xetex is not working:
fonts : using map file: t5-public-lm
[1.1]
systems : end file first at line 10
)
(see the transcript file for additional information)
stdin -> first.pdf

Thanks, it is working after I copied the relevant files from my texmf-fonts/.... into the texmf-local/.... folder. The disjunction into the different texmf-... folders: texmf/.... texmf-local/... texmf-font/.... texmf-extra/... texmf-linux/.... is a little bit confusing to me. Is this seperation necessary or can I just merge them? Ciao, H. Je Lundo, 19. Februaro 2007 12:05, Taco Hoekwater skribis:

you can merge them but best update in texmf-local i must look into texmf-extra since by now the content maybe free enough for texmf 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, after my first installation was successful I am trying to install the latest IPA-font from SIL (Charis - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=IPAhome#Charis ). I followed the instruction from the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_a_TrueType_font,_step_by_step I downloaded the charis-font I decompressed the package and got following files: ~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ ls CharisSIL4.100FontDocumentation.pdf CharisSILB.ttf FONTLOG.txt README.txt CharisSIL4.100.zip CharisSILI.ttf OFL-FAQ.txt CharisSILBI.ttf CharisSILR.ttf OFL.txt Then I entered the sucgested texfont-command: ~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ texfont --ve=sil --co=charis --makepath --install *.ttf /tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texmfstart:2073: warning: Insecure world writable dir /tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin, mode 040777 TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 mktexlsr: Updating /tmp/tex/texmf-fonts/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. encoding vector : texnansi vendor name : sil source path : . font collection : charis texmf font root : /tmp/tex/texmf-fonts map file name : texnansi-sil-charis.map source path : . processing files : all in pattern CharisSILBI.ttf locating afm files : using pattern ./CharisSILBI.ttf.afm locating afm files : using otf files copying files : afm copying files : pfb copying files : otf processing aborted : no afm files found --help : show some more info After this aborted texfont-command I have to run the mktexlsr-comand to rebuild the font-structure - even to get the normal results without using the new font. An example-file is attached to this email - without IPA-signs. Did I missed a step or is texfont obsolete? Thanks, H.

hm, so mktexlsr was aborted cq. ls-r was messed up for some reason? strange

no, but soon you won't need it anymore (xetex supports open type directly as does luatex) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans, thanks for the reply.

...can you explain this «cq» and «ls-r» for a context-newbie like me?

no, but soon you won't need it anymore (xetex supports open type directly as does luatex)
Ok... unfortunately I need this font. Can you/anyone tell me, how to add this font in the actual context, so that it can be used together with xetex? Thanks, H.

mktexlsr : generates a file database this database is actually the output of the unix command "ls -R" and therefore a list of files and directories each texmf tree has such an ls-R (or ls-r) file
