Something broke with formula numbering, and it is due to the numbering changes. \preparethenumber is commented from core-sec.tex, dododoformulanumber in core-mat.tex still uses it.

I just tested Aditya's example \starttext \placeformula \startformula a = b \stopformula \stoptext and found that it worked fine (with 2006.08.08 21:51), so I guessed that some fast updating happened! I've added that example to the contexttest files as 'tex/context/base/core-mat.tex/test-005.tex'. I also included a test for \dontleavehmode mixing with \section headings (as core-sec.tex/test-001.tex). -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Hans, The latest ctxtools.rb has: def locatedlocaltree tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMFLOCAL`.chomp rescue nil unless tree && FileTest.directory?(tree) then tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMF`.chomp rescue nil end return tree end I know the Windows/Unix quoting isn't sorted out, but another problem is with --expand-path. If the kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMF line would get run here (with '$TEXMF'), it would produce /home/sanjoy/.texmf-config:/home/sanjoy/.texmf-var:/home/sanjoy/texmf:/etc/texmf:/var/lib/texmf:/usr/local/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf-tetex which would eventually become the argument of an unhappy Dir.chdir(). Should localtedlocaltree() extract the first component before doing 'return tree'? -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Hi Taco, Thanks, this helps. Also \setupbodyfont[cow,rm,36pt] does the trick. Willi Taco Hoekwater wrote:

just load the symb-cow symbols (\usesymbols[cow]) as starting point (it defined fonts and such) there will be a manual Hans

Hi Hans, Thanks for the hint! Now I am able to display the symbolsets with \showsymbolset. However I can't get eg. \symbol[CowConTeXtComplete] I tried also the Marvosyms. I can display the a set e.g. \showsymbolset[atronomic], but can't get \symbol[astronomic:Mars] Is the \symbol command broken? Willi Hans Hagen wrote:

That reminded me that symb-cow.tex needs to be extended&changed a bit because the new release has 8 extra glyphs: \symbol[CowCowTeXtComplete] and all the 'Complete' logos are now also available without dots. New file attached. Cheers, Taco
