\showmathcharacters problems with TeXlive 2009 on Win 7 64bit
hi i'm on Win 7 64bit and have installed TeXlive 2009 today via the net-installer. i can process context-files, but have some problems: i get "pdftex warning: pdftex.exe: no glyphtounicode entry has been inserted yet" if i use the command \showmathcharacters, and the table in the pdf is empty. in a more complex file i get "! Dimension too large. .."-error additionally on \showmathcharacters, table is empty as well. tried to get a recent version of context by directing texlive manger to "http://minimals.contextgarden.net/texlive/beta", but no matter what i try to update/install (by the way what should i do there?) , i get "00texlive.installation not found, cannot read option available_architectures. TLPDB::setting: no available_architectures, returning empty list ... Fertig. Executing action install 00texlive.config [1/1, ??:??/??:??] install: 00texlive.config [1k] Downloading http://minimals.contextgarden.net/texlive/beta/archive/00texlive.config.tar.... did not succeed, please retry." i noticed that archives have the extension ".tar.lzma" on the server but texlivemanager is looking for ".tar.xz", can i do anything about that? if somebody had some hints what i could/should try/avoid, that would help a lot..

best try an independent minimal, not combined with tex live

ok, installed context minimals via commandline. while i can get texlive at least running, this seems not to work with minimals. is the usage of minimals the same as for texlive, for example "texmfstart texexec.rb --bat --nonstop --pdf --interface=en --color "test1"" (setuptex.bat has been run) should process "test1.tex"? this does not work, output (with --verbose) is appended. i could not find any usage instructions, can someone give me a link?

ok, but is there a way i can tell texlivemanager to search for ".tar.lzma" files? or is that texlive repository only supposed to work with texlive 2008?

well, i got the minimals running by rerunnig first-setup.bat, it seems i installed the first time with -current which has some problems (i thought that'd be the stable one?). but the \showmathcharacters problems are still there, the table is empty and i get "pdfTeX warning: pdftex.exe: no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet!" using this layout "\setuplayout[backspace=1cm, rightmargin=0.58cm, width=fit, topspace=1cm, header=1cm, footer=1cm, height=fit]" i also get "!

can you post the complete test file? btw, the pdftex unicode warning is harmless 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

sure, output pdf is in the attachment: \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[windows] \setuplayout[backspace=1cm, rightmargin=0.58cm, width=fit, topspace=1cm, header=1cm, footer=1cm, height=fit] \starttext \showmathcharacters \stoptext

good to know, i thought the empty table had to do something with this

ok, this was the problem: the math definition files are read and then the column width is calculated which is used in a second read as the files to be used now have the mkii suffix, no file is read and we end up with 24 columns which is too much for tex's calculations I now intercept that as well as fixedthe loading (to use mkii 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

thank you very much for your time!

I now intercept that as well as fixedthe loading (to use mkii files)
