spurious space before section heading but only in pdf mode
This file \starttext \section{a} hi \section{b} hi again \stoptext is fine in dvi mode (texexec a.tex). But 'texexec --pdf a.tex' is a bit off, with the "1 a" section heading indented about one character. Is it a pdfetex bug? $ texexec --version TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2006.03.25 13:21 cont-en : ver: 2006.03.25 13:21 fmt: 2006.4.8 mes: english The only change from the distributed context version is Taco's suggestion of \def\maxreadlevel{4} in supp-fil.tex. -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal
Hmm, I just tried that example on the live context and it came out fine. It also uses pdfetex 1.21, but has a more recent (2006-04-07) context. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

I've the same pdfetex version, and it looks like the problem I encountered (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060406.001743.3f9ecc2b.en.html). Regards, BG

Thanks, those two space removals in enco-pfr.tex fix it. I guess when I upgrade to pdftex 1.30 I'll unchange it. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

it seems that people are more afraid to upgrade their pdftex than context. in my opinion upgrading context is much harder, there are much more things which can go wrong. it is really just compiling it and replacing 3 files plus regenating the formats. (of course it must be followed by the context update or else context stops working). -f -- when you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last.

Upgrading context is easy now that I keep it in ~/texmf/, so updates to the Debian tetex packages don't overwrite or shadow the latest context. My worry about upgrading pdf(e)tex is that when I do the next apt-get update && apt-get upgrade then my pdftex 1.30 will get wiped out by the v1.21 that comes with the slightly updated tetex-3.0. Then I'll have to regenerate the context formats (the apt-get upgrade will regenerate only the system formats, not my own). Already this overwriting happens with metapost 0.91: After upgrading the tetex, it gets returned to 0.63 or something like that. So I keep the 0.91 install tree around and wrote a Makefile to reinstall it over the 0.63 version (Taco has put that Makefile in the metapost distribution). But I'd like to minimize the amount of homebrew administration, which is why I keep my hands off pdftex. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
