RE: [NTG-context] dvipdfmx old-style bug

workaround: In cont-sys.tex, change \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map] to \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map] Then old-style lm will always be loaded first. [if you use other than texnansi make analogous changes] A perhaps drastic workaround but it works for now (reasonable default for the humanities anyway)... Best Idris ====================================================== ====================================================== Dear fellows knights of the TeX Table, I think I have found the source of the problem: There is a difference between the way aleph and the way pdfetex handle resetting the map file list: =========test-os============== % output=dvipdfmx % tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx \loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map] \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [modern] \starttext 123456789 \stoptext ============================ If we just declare % output=dvipdfmx then the maps get reset as follows: ========================= systems : begin file test-os at line 8 fonts : resetting map file list fonts : using map file: original-base fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-base fonts : using map file: original-public-lm fonts : using map file: texnansi-os-public-lm fonts : using map file: texnansi-base fonts : using map file: texnansi-public-lm ========================== texnansi-os-public-lm gets read _before_ texnansi-public-lm. But if we declare % tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx then the maps get reset as follows: ========================== fonts : resetting map file list fonts : using map file: original-base fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-base fonts : using map file: texnansi-base fonts : using map file: qx-base fonts : using map file: t5-base fonts : using map file: 8r-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-euler fonts : using map file: original-public-lm fonts : using map file: texnansi-public-lm fonts : using map file: qx-public-lm fonts : using map file: t5-public-lm fonts : using map file: pl0-public-lm fonts : using map file: il2-public-lm fonts : using map file: texnansi-os-public-lm ========================== Note that texnansi-os-public-lm is read last, and _afte_r texnansi-public-lm. Is this why dvipdfmx does not work for % tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx ? NOTE: if we comment out \loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map] then upon declaring % output=dvipdfmx pdfetex will read texnansi-os-public-lm last. I think this is an overall bug in the latest ConTeXt. Thus it appears that \loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map] works for pdfetex (in dvi mode) but not for aleph. Is this because the etex in aleph is too old? In the meantime, is there a workaround so that aleph will load texnansi-os-public-lm.map first?
