ConTeXt with XeTeX (beginner question)
Hello, I am using MikTeX 2.7 with XeTeX 0.997 and ConTeXt version 2008.01.28 21:28. Working off of this wiki page, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX I am trying to load system fonts in a ConTeXt document. When I run the file (below), I get an error (further below). One thing I suspect may be part of the problem is cont-en.fmt. In the MikTeX bin directory, I run texexec --make --xtx en This creates cont-en.fmt in the bin directory, but I don't know that that's where ConTeXt expects it to be. Searching the rest of the MikTeX directory structure, I can't find another file with that name. Any help appreciated, Adam Baker ====begin file==== \enableregime[utf] % not necessary since it is default regime, but can remind you that you must provide UTF-8�Ccoded text \definetypeface[myface][ss][Xsans][Arial] % or any else font in your /windows/fonts folder; run "fc-list

True, but in MikTeX that should not happen since both ConTeXt and LM were supposed to be updated simultaneously. TeX Live has no auto-update mechanisms and at the time when the problem arised LM has not even been released yet. For a MikTeX user, following the suggestions from that old thread is probably a bad idea. Mojca

I am trying to load system fonts in a ConTeXt document. When I run the file (below), I get an error (further below). One thing I suspect may be part of the problem is cont-en.fmt. In the MikTeX bin directory, I run
texexec --make --xtx en
You don't need to run that. MikTeX should already generate the format for you (and it did, otherwise you would not be able to run "texexec --xtx" at all). In particular, "texexec --make --xtx en" probably behaves badly on MikTeX since: - there is no real need for it (you can use miktex's tools to generate format) - difficult to guess the most appropriate location where the format should go - Hans doesn't use MikTeX, other users do not care too much, mostly because of the first reason (there is gui to generate formats)
This creates cont-en.fmt in the bin directory, but I don't know that that's where ConTeXt expects it to be. Searching the rest of the MikTeX directory structure, I can't find another file with that name.
It's probably somewhere in "Documents and Settings". Try to look for kpsewhich cont-en.fmt

You can also test with the simplest \starttext abc \stoptext file - I guess that it should result in the same problem. Just to make sure: have you updated the MikTeX packages recently? It looks like you have "new" ConTeXt and old Latin Modern fonts to me, but I might be wrong. Mojca
Just to make sure: have you updated the MikTeX packages recently? It looks like you have "new" ConTeXt and old Latin Modern fonts to me, but I might be wrong.
I believe this was the problem. I recently upgraded to MikTeX 2.7, but I also moved my packages with: mpm [snip] --import-all. I guess that imported old files. (Ironic step to include in an upgrade, eh?) I am now able to compile the above example with: texexec --xtx test Thanks to everyone for responding. Adam
