Dear all, After upgrading to the latest release (that is TeXExec 5.4.3, and ConTeXt ver: 2006.05.08 12:59 fmt: 2006.5.9 int: english mes: english), when I tried to generate the format with XeTeX (that is to generate XeConTeXt), with the command sudo texexec --make --xtx en I get the folllowing error message: language : patterns de for de loaded (n=3,e=texnansi,m=texnansi) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-de.pat ! Bad \patterns. \unknownchar ->{ \hbox {\vrule \!!width .5em\!!height 1ex\!!depth \zeropoint }} l.114 .ge s6 ? Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution? Many thanks for your help: Otared K.

Same for me. The problem is that in line 113, we have .ge5rö in Latin-1 encoding, but XeTeX tries reading the file in UTF-8.
Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution?
I only have a nasty hack: In the patterns directory, run (in bash)
for file in *.pat *.hyp
do iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <$file >$file-u
done
and in mult-sys.tex, change the lines reading
\definefileconstant {patternsextension} {pat}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension} {hyp}
to
\doifundefinedelse{XeTeXversion}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension} {pat}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension} {hyp}}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension} {pat-u}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension} {hyp-u}}
There probably is a much better place for this change, but cont-new.tex,
afaik, is not read when generating formats and I don't know where the
code really should go. It mayalso be possible to fix the behaviour by
some regime switchting in the .pat and .hyp files, but I know very
little about those commands and haven't tested it.
Still, XeConTeXt does not work as expected in the current version:
The plain TeX file
\font\myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3"
\myface
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\bye
works like a charm, but
\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3]
\setupbodyfont[myface,14pt]
\starttext
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\stoptext
produces an output containing only a lot of accented latin characters,
see attached file.
Best regards,
Christopher

Still, XeConTeXt does not work as expected in the current version:
Hi Christopher, I tried the file you suggest with the latest version of ConTeXt and generated a new XeConTeXt (ConTeXt ver: 2006.05.11 10:30 fmt: 2006.5.13, on MacOS X 10.4.6) and I didn't have any trouble with the following %% begin japanese.tex \starttext \font\Myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3" at 14 pt \Myface こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。 %\bye \blank works like a charm, and so does the ConTeXt way of defining a typeface: \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3] \setupbodyfont[myface,14pt] こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。 \stoptext %% end japanese.tex the japanese text is typeset identically with \Myface (defined with the good old Plain TeX way) and \myface (defined in ConTeXt way). Nevertheless still I encounter other problems with the new version of ConTeXt and I am reporting them in another thread. Best regards: OK

Same for me. The problem is that in line 113, we have .ge5rö in Latin-1 encoding, but XeTeX tries reading the file in UTF-8.
Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution? how old is your context
the latest version uses utf patterns for both pdftex and xetex so no special tricks are needed Hans

Indeed, that was stone age: 2006.05.08 12:59 - more than five days old. :-)

Thanks for the pointer. Strangely enough, I still can't typeset simple Japanese, but right now I don't have the time to investigate this further. Best regards, Christopher

for xetex indeed, but if we proceed in the way we do now, we will have reasoable stable xetex support soon 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
