I recently updated to Thomas’ latest Greek module and to the system software (Mac OS 10.5.6), and am now am getting errors indicating that the .enc files are not being found. I checked cont-sys.tex and see that \autoloadmapfilestrue is set. But running “texhash” gets a “command not found” message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using the most recent ConTeXt minimals and Mark II on a Mac. The minimals themselves are in /Applications. Alan

Try mktexlsr. Aditya
Thanks, Aditya, mktexlsr ran successfully. Regrettably, I still get pdfTeX error: pdftex (file alkagr.enc): cannot open encoding file for reading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! when I try to process a file with Greek in it.

Maybe that's a file that exists on his computer only (by pure accidence)? Google doesn't find that encoding file either. Mojca
Hi, Mojca, The key line in my preamble is \usemodule[ancientgreek] [font=Alkaios,scale=1,altfont=GreekOxoniensis,altscale=0.9] I get the same error message no matter what Greek font I call for (e.g. GreekKerkis, GreekOxoniensis, etc). I would check the docs but there are none with the module itself and the link to the online docs is broken. I have also checked t-greek-2008.08.11 and can confirm that there is no alkagr.enc file in this module. So, how does one fix this? Alan On Dec 19, 2008, at 16;03,25 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

1.) wait for Thomas to answer 2.) this file seems a bit weird to me anyway: http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-greek/fonts/map/pdftex/context/tasgree... but some older mirrors still contain this file: http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/tex/ctan/macros/context/contrib/t-greek/fo... You can rename (copy first) this file into alkagr.enc; maybe it would work? (I did not test.) Mojca

Sorry, was away from my computer for this afternoon. I just looked, and it seems that agralk.enc is not included in the zip. There's a typo in the tpm file from which the zip is generated, my bad. Alan, do I understand you correctly: you're getting errors no matter what font you use? Or just with Alkaios?

Mojca, I'm a bit slow tonight: what's weird about these files? Anyway, I'll try to publish a new version in the next days, and I attach the necessary files. Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas

I have never seen <[ and << in map files before, but most probably these are completely legal characters. It's just my ignorance, probably nothing with the file, really. After taking a closer look it seems to be an extention (with very weird syntax) to enable otf fonts. One rarely sees support for those in pdfTeX. (Even ttf seems to appear weird to TeXies.) Mojca

Don't know what <[ is supposed to do but << is necessary to use OpenType fonts with pdfTeX. Here is the explanation from the pdfTeX manual. If the font file name is preceded by a double <<, the font file will be included entirely — all glyphs of the font are embedded, including even the ones that are not used in the document. Apart from causing large size pdf output, this option may cause troubles with TrueType fonts, so it is normally not recommended for Type1 or TrueType fonts. But this is currently the only mode that allows the use of OpenType fonts. This mode might also be useful in case the font is atypical and can not be subsetted well by pdfTX. Beware: some font vendors forbid full font inclusion. Wolfgang

Thanks for the explanation Wolfgang. As to <[: to be quite honest, I don't know myself. When you let Eddie Kohler's lcdf tools generate a map file for an otf, it uses this syntax, so I just copied this behavior because it worked(TM). I have tried to google it, but searching for a string like <[ isn't easy, it seems... Thomas
Hi, Thomas I was getting errors no matter what font I wanted to use. But now that I have installed the the two files (alkagr.enc and alklagr.enc) in texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/greek, everything works as it should. The only “loss” that I have detected so far seems to be Greek Oxoniensis---I need an Oxoniensis.otf file---but given that the font is not in the public domain, that is perhaps for the good. Many thanks! Alan On Dec 19, 2008, at 17;57,00 , Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

I found this encoding file in the release of the grrek module from 3. April 2005. agralk.enc /alkagrEncoding[ ... ] def Wolfgang
