Hello, I try to use the beta versions of ConTeXt and pdfTeX now and I find the following issue (on latest TeX-live): with "TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}" in texmf.cnf and pdfTeX-1.40.XXX, texexec --make writes the formats to texmf-config/web2c/pdfetex but pdftex looks only into texmf-config/web2c A symbolic link from texmf-config/web2c/cont-en.fmt to pdfetex/cont-en.fmt solves the problem. Is this issue already known and is there perhaps a better solution? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

pdfetex is no longer valid, it's pdftex now (includes etex); so. remove any trace of pdfetex, take the latest texexec, adn regenerate the formats (in this respect 1.40 is not downward compatible with tex live) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Hans, this is exactly what I did: I removed bin/pdfetex and web2c/pdfetex.pool and then "texexec --make --all" puts its format to web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt It's texexec from ConTeXt-2006.10.27
(in this respect 1.40 is not downward compatible with tex live)
Do you mean TeX live 2005 or the development version (svn-head)? Does "not downward compatible" mean, that there are other more serious issues? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

each year downward compatibily has someho wbeen broken (changes in binaries, tds, font names; but by now texmfstart/texexec should catch such problems) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
