Why not Emacs :) It's also quite nice for ConTeXt. P. 2009/6/2 :

...

I wanted to get a clean, up-to-date installation of Context on Windows (without using rsync), so started from scratch as follows:

1. Downloaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/minimals-snapshot-mswin.zip 2. Unzipped to C:\Tools\context 3. Renamed C:\Tools\context\texmf-context to texmf-context-old 4. Downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped contents to c:\Tools\context\texmf-context 3. From command window, ran:       cd \Tools\context       setuptex      mktexlsr      luatools --generate      luatools --selfupdate      mtxrun   --selfupdate      texexec --make      context --make 4. To generate new pdf, ran:      context testdoc.tex

Everything seemed to execute without errors until the last step which returned:

MtxRun | loading configuration for C:/Tools/context/texmf/web2c from C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-

cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/trees/90e2367b37b32bcc25e442581c9e72e2

...

MtxRun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex- cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en"

--lua="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex- cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.lua"  "./testdoc.tex" luatex.exe: C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex- cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt:  No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code: 1

Looking at the source directory, a file "testdoc.top" has been created but nothing else.

Can someone please point me towards a next step?

Thanks,

Richard

P.S. I tried copying cont-en.fmt from "C:\Tools\context\texmf-mswin\web2c\luatex\pdftex" to the cache directory but got "Fatal format file error, I'm stymied".

I was trying various things and downloaded the beta version of cont-tmf.zip (from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-2.htm ) instead of the current version and it all works, hooray! Thank-you, everyone, for your help. I'm so pleased to be able to use MKIV now for the first time - it even gives me Helvetica when I ask for it. All I've got to do now is get Scite working again :-(

Thanks,

Richard
