Hi Hans, the last beta is not working on my Mac in MkIV mode. It start with the problem that context.tex is not found but this is related to luat-inp.lua, I tried it with the file from the last beta and context.tex is now found. Generating the format is nevertheless not possible. Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang, are you referring to this one? context version: 2008.07.10 09:58 It works without problems on my Mac. Thomas On Jul 13, 2008, at 7:14 PM, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

I found only: 2008.07.10 10:01 but ConTeXt itself gives me:

I tried now the minimals but I have the same problem after I tried to
update
to the last beta, the version in the minimals works (it's the one you
mentioned
above).
Here is the message I get when I try to generate the format.

context version: 2008.07.10 09:58
It works without problems on my Mac.
This version also works on my Mac to the extent that I can make the format and compile simple files. Sadly, these parts appear to be broken: - MetaPost graphics - mtxrun --script fonts --list - ligatures Best wishes, Oliver

Well, we have uploaded new binaries (mplib) for metapost (before disappearing for several days). The same problem could have affected all platforms except for Windows (where I didn't check if Akira has already added the new library) and PPC (where I didn't try to use the patch yet). We have also switched to LuaTeX 0.28.0, so that could be one of the reasons as well. Mojca

Can you please send some examples? Metapost works OK here. mtxrun --script fonts --list didn't work here either until I ran luatools --generate (which should happen automatically during update). Mojca
Hi Oliver, Your attachments were too big for the mailing list, but I read them myself. Here is some answers. Oliver Buerschaper wrote:

This is weird (and worrying, Hans vd Meer had problems on the mac too). The relevant bit of the log is this: mplib : making format: metafun.mp, name: /usr/local/context/2008-07-10-beta/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b29711f44b226eed93986eab2faeaa2c/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem mplib : problems with format: metafun.mp, name: /usr/local/context/2008-07-10-beta/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b29711f44b226eed93986eab2faeaa2c/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem Now, the problem is that mkiv suppresses all of the mpost logging so we can only guess at what goes wrong. Next week at TUG we will sit down and try to come up with a way to improve the logging.
- mtxrun --script fonts --list
You reported: ...-10-beta/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:247: attempt to index field 'data' (a nil value) Did you run --reload first? It looks from the code like you can get that error message if (and only if) there is no font name database yet.
- ligatures
I just downloaded and checked: there are no ligatures in Delicious, so this is not mkiv's fault. Best wishes, Taco

Would it help if I ran mpost separately? Or is this problem related to ConTeXt integration?

I thought so. Will have to check this.
- ligatures
I just downloaded and checked: there are no ligatures in Delicious, so this is not mkiv's fault.
Then I definitely prepared a stupid example … I'm pretty sure I saw missing ligatures with fonts that actually contain them but wanted to demonstrate the issue with a free font. Stupid me that I chose the wrong one … so I'll look into this again and prepare a new example … Oliver

I used now the release from the minimals (2008.07.10 09:58) and it works but the one on your page (2008.07.10 10:01) has a problem. Wolfgang

hm, i'll upload a new one then (we only added support for expanded ~ in configurations and checking for writability of cache paths) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
