Perhaps we need to add a FAQ on the wiki for this error (and maybe change the default symbolset to text symbols rather than math symbols)

A follow up on the lm / texgyre project will add the most relevant symbols to the text fonts (for this purpose; the reason to trigger this project was that it makes no sense in these times to get symbols from math fonts).

I apologize for my lack of knowledge about fonts details and handling at this poing, but am learning. Here is the minimal exampple:

The result of adding:

\definetypeface[test][rm][serif][latin-modern][default] \definetypeface[test][mm][math] [latin-modern][default]

\setupbodyfont[test]

Make no difference whatsoever. "Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier. ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. system > tex > error on line 20 in file bullet-problem.tex: Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set ... " " As pointed out an arument is not being passed through to a lower level and apparently in this case the argument is probably NULL or not valid. However adding: "\setmathfont[modern] " did allow normal default symbols working. Only problem now is a halting compile with error messages and inability to use $/diamond$ (and other symbols) as bullet shapes/characters. Regards Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

so, the question is: does simplefonts (the one on your machine) define the lm math font in the right way (read: adapted to the latest fashion)

The simplefonts module passes the \setmathfont argument to the \definetypeface command and the default setup should be similar to the following example. I already sent the example once but got no answer what’s the result from it.

\definetypeface[test][rm][serif][latin-modern][default] \definetypeface[test][mm][math] [latin-modern][default]

\setupbodyfont[test]

\starttext Text and $math$. \stoptext

Good question. How should I go about finding the answer to this? Updated all TeXLive 2011 a week ago. mkiv says: contextunable to define latinmodernmath-regular.otf as [simplefonts:1-12pt-mm-mr--2] And as you say "! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. system > tex > error on line 19 in file bullet-problem.tex: Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set ... " and "l.19 \item 此 の行にbulletを打つ。 Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier. ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. " The item text is getting properly placed and there is actually no problem there. The parsing is getting out of step, probably because of a missing parameter. I don't know if this is relevant but the below produces a null output. $ mtxrun --locate lmmath-regular.otf $ Ref: "(read: adapted to the latest> fashion)" Is there a way to ascertain version information about simplefonts if there are different ones floating around? Getting to your main question: How can I find out if simplefonts, the one here on this machine, defines a lm math font in the right way?

Thank you Hans and Wolfgang for all your advice and assistance. I will learn how to and update to a newer standalone version. Regads Hans Hagen wrote: ... .. .

Updated all TeXLive 2011 a week ago.

that one is way too old for lm math as these fonts only showed up last year so, either update to

- tex live 2013

or

- use the context garden distribution
