Hi all!
After having fallen back to LaTeX some time ago I thought I should give
ConTeXt another try again. But...
I just today updated my *entire* TeX installation (teTeX, ConTeXt,
LaTeX, etc.) on a Mac OS X 10.3.9 using i-installer. So, I should have a
state of the art installation.
Now I have problems with the default fonts. That is, when trying to use
good old Computer Modern fonts (which are the default but called "Latin
Modern", or?) then umlauts, bold face etc. don't work. Also, when
MetaFont renders math symbols they become pixelized and don't scale.
Probably this is not surprising, since I get a lot of lines like this
(the full texexec output is at the end of this mail):
Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/
dvipdfm/context/original-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmex8':
font file missing
Additionally, there is a mysterious line in the end:
warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead
Now, when I do
UMac:~/Projekte/ConTeXt/uma$ texmfstart texexec --pdf main
I get a
-bash: texmfstart: command not found
Any ideas?
I saw in the list that this kind of error seems to occur time after time
with installations on various systems. I tired some if the proposed
solutions but none of them seem to work (I might have overlooked others,
though). My understanding is that it has something to do with the LM
fonts but I don't understand that -- I never needed to dig into TeX
font handling that deep... (LaTeX seems to run as smoothly as ever after
the update).
Thanks and Cheers!
Ulf Martin.

context is using latin moden by default now and what you observe is a mismatch in names due to the fact that aroun dthe time that tex live and tetex got frozen, a new release of latin modern took place (by now, latin modern is rather stable; version 1.0 was released at bachotek); because context was an early adopter (well, someone had to do the testing -) its users pay the price ... (btw, you may expect similar 'need to update' situations when new lminized fonts show up [soon we can expect the first test files])

this is up to gerben; afaik, in tex live at least TEXFONTMAPS=.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}// was agreed upon, but then, tetex is not texlive, and therefore gwtex neither, but gerben is pretty fast in adapting esp on the mac, with multiple engines, we need the ability to distinguish between engines (the same is true for linux not that xetex has got there) [keep in mind that afaik dvipdfmx was never paryt of linux/macosx distributions, i was always in fptex, so that may be a reason why we now -since xetex needs it- run into such situations]

Short answer: run the command kpsewhich texmf.cnf The file referenced by this command is the one you need to modify. Longer answer: you could have figured that out yourself by reading / usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/README.howtexfindsfiles.txt If all else fails, read the documentation.

Hi again Font problem solved, it seems! Thank you to everbody again for the kind help. Just for the record, here is the solution; it looks like the path in the i-installer distribution is wrong. Thomas A. Schmitz schrieb:

That yields "/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf" and indeed in that file there is a line: TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map//,fontname};$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config;$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}// So I was wrong when saying that there is no TEXFONTSMAPS line (sorry!). Commenting this out and adding the lines Hans suggested, solved the trouble. Could it be that the malfunctioning of XeTeX might be due to a similar path mismatch (I don't have an urgent need for this, though)? I am giving the whole (changed) texmf.cnf for those who might have any use for it. The wrong line is in that part that begins with the line "% Fixes for mixing old and new style locations in TL2004 (according to Hans Hagen)". -- Start of texmf.cnf -- % Our directory setup as explained in $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/README.gwtex % TEXMFMAIN contains the TEXMF tree installed by make install of the programs TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf % TEXMFTE contains the main TEXMF tree from teTeX TEXMFTE = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.tetex % TEXMFGW contains GW specific defaults and additions TEXMFGW = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.gwtex % TEXMFLOCAL contains any local system TeXadmin overrides TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.local % $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL % User texmf trees can be catered for like this...

Any ideas?
What I did was: 1. adding some aliases to the file .bashrc: alias texmfstart=texmfstart.rb alias texversion='texmfstart texexec --version' etc., the first one being the important one. 2. ensuring that the scripts are executable with: cd .../texmf-local-..../context/ruby (sudo) chmod -R a+x *.rb execute this in terminal as a user with administrator priveliges. Hope this will help you on the way. Hans van der Meer
