Hello ConTeXters! LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.15 ConTeXt ver: 2020.02.07 18:36 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.2.10 works well doing my usual tasks. Now, I put an .otf-font into ".../tex/texmf-local/", and made mtxrun --generate mtxrun --script fonts --reload mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=, but didn't get the expected information on the new font from the last command. So I investigated the output of the first two commands in more detail and found: 1. mtxrun --generate: resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) By the way, "TEXMF" seems to be a mtxrun variable and hasn't directly to do with the environmental variable "TEXMF" which gets extinguished. 2. mtxrun --script fonts --reload: mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated mtxrun | unknown script 'fonts.lua' or 'mtx-fonts.lua' Please, what is to be done? Best wishes, Rudolf

This usually happens when the mtxrun script you call is not in its ’normal' tree location. It uses its own location to find the rest of its files. For example, one of my context trees has mtxrun in: ~/elvenkind/tex_2014/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun and then it works fine. But If I were to move it to e.g. ~/bin/mtxrun it would (likely) fail to find any files. Best wishes, Taco Taco Hoekwater Elvenkind BV

Hi Taco, thank you for your quick answer! I didn't change at all the location of mtxrun. It "resides" in ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun.lua ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun.lua ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun These are similar locations as you are using.

LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.15 ConTeXt ver: 2020.02.07 18:36 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.2.10 works well doing my usual tasks.

So I investigated the output of the first two commands in more detail and found:

1. mtxrun --generate: resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)

By the way, "TEXMF" seems to be a mtxrun variable and hasn't directly to do with the environmental variable "TEXMF" which gets extinguished.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. How should it be possible to mix mkiv and lmtx, when I install "LuaMetaTeX 2.03.15" and "ConTeXt 2020.02.10 MKIV beta" in my linux directory "~/context-lmtx", correct the PATH variable after installation, do not forget a "source" on ".bashrc" and then invoke in my directory "context-lmtx" following programs: mtxrun --generate mtxrun --script fonts --reload with the above presented errors?

Hi Rudolf, how did you install ConTeXt? Did you download the proper file from http://pragma-ade.nl/install.htm? What is the output from "whereis mtxrun && whereis context"? Try adding "export PATH=$PATH:~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/" (correct the path where required) and try again. I’m on Linux64 and I’m not experiencing these issues.

Hello Pablo! Thank you for your answer! "whereis mtxrun" gives: ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun.lua ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun.lua ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun and "whereis context": ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context.lua ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context I think, you'll get similar results. These are the informations according to my PATH variable. And in that PATH there are no links to "~/context-luatex", my directory of the other context installation. And as so often I wiped again "texmf-cache": cd ~/context-lmtx/tex/ rm -r texmf-cache/* So, only the empty directory "texmf-cache/" remains. And now: mtxrun --generate gives again the error statements as written earlier. Best wishes, Rudolf

Thanks to Hans and Aditya! Using the binaries in /context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/ instead of ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun brings the awaited result! Remains the question why has it been possible to use the wrong binaries? How could a context user know where the "good" binaries reside? I put the PATH sequence of the official installation process as proposed into my PATH variable and was using "mtxrun". I shall eliminate the error causing context parts in my PATH variable. I'd suggest to correct the proposed completion of PATH variable at the end of the installation process. The knowledge about that has only been possible after a series of mails with Pablo, Hans and Aditya. Thanks again! Rudolf

Hello Pablo!

Thank you for your answer!

I think, you'll get similar results. These are the informations according to my PATH variable. And in that PATH there are no links to "~/context-luatex", my directory of the other context installation.

Hi Aditya! Thank you for your answer! The output of ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --generate is big, so I append it here by the file "Aditya-I". It's made by LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.15 ConTeXt ver: 2020.02.11 16:41 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.2.11 Just for fun (but perhaps it will help anyway) I append the corresponding output of ~/context-luatex/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --generate as the file "Aditya-II". This is made by luatex version of context 2020.01.30 14:13 Best wishes, Rudolf

That shows that texmfcnf.lua file was found and resolved. So, `context filename` should work now. Just to be sure, you can try: ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context filename where filename is the name of a sample tex file. Aditya

Hi Aditya! Thank you for your hint and your help in general! When you wrote before: "This is the wrong binary. As Hans said (and also what I wrote in my message) is that you have to run the one in ~/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/", I noticed having misunderstood Hans what he meant with: "i assume that you run the last one in this list, ..." I thought he pointed to my error and didn't understand I should try the last one in the list instead. Anyway, thanks to you, Taco, Pablo and Hans for helping me to solve my problem! Rudolf
