Fonts: Minimals v. Texlive 2007
Thanks to everyone who helped me get the minimals installed. I am having a little trouble. At my home computer, I have the Context installation for Ubuntu 7.04 from the sanjoy tex-live backports. At work I now have the minimals, --context=current, not beta. I expected that the output of these two systems would be nearly identical. They are not. I do not use any special font handling. I let Context handle it all. I use whatever the default fonts are, and use \setupbodyfont only to set fontsize. The same source run on both machines produces slightly different margins and slightly different font sizes. The minimals are smaller (shorter) for the same font size (11 pt). I really would like to get the same output for both systems. Can anyone help with this? -Erich Fickel

Is it a letter vs A4 thing perhaps? Best wishes, Taco

No. It is not letter vs. A4. Paper sizing is setup and letter is being used. I tried to attach a couple of PDF samples, but the list said the files were too big. Does anyone have someplace I could upload the samples for review by the experts. I made them on the same machine, using the same source, once with the texlive-2007 install and once with the minimals install. -Erich
