Conflict ConTeXt & new LM?
I just installed the latest LM fonts from TL Master on top of a teTeX
3.0 + recent ConTeXt and tried to re-run my project. This fails. I
reinstalled the old LM and it works, Is this known?

ah .. that's because you're a developer; latin modern now ships with ec-lm* instead of cork-lm* (as does antikwa); my local context already made the (very welcome) change (there will also be il and pl metric files, so it will take some time before latin modern settles; rough schedule is bachotek) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

So, the conclusion is that I canot use/redistribute the new LM? And another conclusion is that stuff like LaTeX lmodern.sty and ConTeXt need to be updated in sync with the new lmodern? G

you can because my guess is that not so many people use them yet also, the lm fonts now come with open type variants, which is good for the mac (since xetex needs them and user should test that); keep in mind that the mac users normally are the most advanced/demanding font users, so in a way gwtex is providing a testbed

i'll upload a new beta so that you can ship in sync; i'll also try to keep my cont-lmt.zip up to date with the latest lm updates (the originals don't come in a texmf structure) another font we need to keep an eye on is the antikwa torunska; both lm and at are very complete fonts and for instance include vietnamese glyphs as well because context users play a lot with fonts, errors show up early, which is good (the only way to debug new fonts like lm is to use them -) another issue with lm is that when remapping cmr to lm one needs different map files for dvips (internal lm names) and pdftex (original cm names); else pdf inclusion of old files becomes unefficient (i found out a few days before eurotex -); i'm discussing these issues with the lm team i'll upload a new beta in a few minutes 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
