To increase the hash size in MiKTeX you have to edit miktex.ini; the key to change is hash_size_def (possibly the one in the [ConTeXt] section)

I did not find this key in the ConTeXt section (or any other key). I looked in MikTeX CVS repository, and it seems to have been removed in revision 1.20 of the file (3 month ago). Nevertheless I did add it (following the [Omega] section ) in my localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini : ;; ---------------------------------------------------------- [ConTeXt] Input Dirs=.;%R\pdftex\context//;%R\pdftex\plain//;%R\pdftex\generic//;%R\pdftex//;%R\etex\context//;%R\etex\plain//;%R\etex\generic//;%R\etex//;%R\tex\context//;%R\tex\plain//;%R\tex\generic//;%R\tex// ;; maximum number of control sequences; it should be at most ;; about (mem_max-mem_min)/10. hash_size_def=65536 ;; a prime number equal to about 85% of hash_size. hash_prime_def=55711 ;; --------------------------------------------------------- Then i rebuilt the formats, but it did not changed anything (with or without hash_prime_def=55711). What did i miss ? Thanks for your help, Seb.

Hello, GH> Uh. Does it work if you add the key in the main section? Which section is the main section ? I tried this "hash_size_def=100000" key in sections [ConTeXt], [MikTeX], [pdfeTeX] and [TeX] and it did not changed anything. It is true for both ConTeXt and LaTeX, I verified it with texify etc. I also checked that the file localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini is indeed used by changing the font_mem_size keyin [MikTeX] to "font_mem_size=100000" , which changed the following line 53886 words of font info for 146 fonts, out of 500000 for 1000 to 53886 words of font info for 146 fonts, out of 100000 for 1000 I even installed MikTeX and ConTeXt on another box (Win 2000) with the same ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]. So it does not seem to be my setup. What can I try next ? Am I really the only guy with this problem ? Yours, Seb.
