Hans, I know that the version on TL has been frozen, but there is one tiny problem - with MacTeX, the version of ConTeXt MKIV on TeX Live doesn't work at all, while the latest version works out of the box.

well, it's up to taco to decide what to update and patch last minute in the context part of tex live (as far as i understood the only problem was using platform fonts) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There is no point doing anything about context in texlive right now, it is way too dangerous. we have working mkii on texlive and even a (mostly) working xetex, I don't want to endanger that just so that the mkiv (with its old luatex.exe) will work a little better.

What do you mean "(mostly) working xetex"? It's just been updated to 0.999.6. Work pretty well for me...

No, on MacTeX it fails completely, but I agree with Taco's remark that it's a bit dangerous to simply take the latest ConTeXt. Mojca

That is odd indeed. I have *no* idea what is going on, sorry. Hans may be able to help.

Could it a problem with the cache/hash? Bold is a prefix of Bold Italic... FYI: XeTeX had a somewhat similar problem in 0.999.4; it got fixed in 0.999.5.

In plain TeX this is expected. You are not running context at all.

I know; I was taking it one step at a time. I assume LuaTeX will (eventually) be usable even without ConTeXt...

C:\tlhome\Vasile>luatex hellolua.tex

Try this instead:

C:\tlhome\Vasile>context hellolua.tex

Thanks, I'll try it later today; I don't have the windows box with me right now...

Best wishes, Taco

Yeah, this works properly, so with the 0.25.4 version of luaTeX what ships with TeXLive 2008, one needs to pass plain TeX input through ConTeXt mk IV in order to get the (plain) luaTeX font selection working properly. At least it works somehow :)

Not quite. There is no such thing as a plain luatex font selection. This worked because context can handle simple plain tex files, but you are really running context, not plain. Best wishes, Taco
