All,

After using i-installer to install "gwTeX Support : Context Updater," I now get the following message:

FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!

FormatVersion : 2007.01.02 13:44 MK II FilesVersion : 2007.04.17 12:51

How should I proceed?

Remake the formats

texexec --make --all

BTW, to update context (if you are not behind a firewall) you can do

ctxtools --update

All, I got myself in trouble by using gwTeX i-installer and tried to use Context Updater. The result was that the format files didn't match the base files (error message).

Usually this is because latin modern fonts are not present. Try to download the fonts, unzip them in your texmf tree, run mktexlsr and try again.

I think what I should have done after using i-installer, is try using texmfstart texexec --make --all.

Not sure how best to proceed. Does ctxtools have an uninstall?

No. But all that ctxtools did was fetching a new zip and unzipping files into /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local. If you didn't place anything else there, you may simply delete all the contents from that directory and run [sudo] mktexlsr (just to make sure that TeX won't think the files are still there) texexec --make --all (to remake the format)

Does ctxtools install in texmf.local by default?

Yes. And I'm not sure if fixing it makes sense (it does in some aspects, but I would not dare asking for it - Gerben's updater works just fine). In general it's better to use gwTeX's updater. It's always up-to-date. And make sure to use the TeXLive-based one. I never tried the MacTeX - it might work even better, but I have no experince with it. ctxtools --update is not necessary the best option for MikTeX and gwTeX (since you ignore/neglect the system's book-keeping about existing files and packages), but works perfectly wih standalone ConTeXt.

Quoting David Arnold :

Latin modern fonts have names like what?

Where are they installed in your tree?

Download the files in texmf-local or texmf-fonts, and unzip them. THey are in TDS format so you need not worry about where to place the files.

Where can I get these fonts? http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download

At what point in my tree do I place the zip file and then what command do I use to unzip them?

at texmf-local/ or texmf-font/ Simply unzip them using unzip filename.

Thanks, Aditya. Your help is appreciated.

I would have never messed with my installation but I tried your first example in section 4, page 4 of: http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/ mathalign.pdf and got two equations but three numbers! (1) (2) and (3). So I thought that might be a bug and I hadn't updated context in some time, so here I am, hammered again ....

Yes, that was a bug introduced sometime in the beginning of this year (I think) but was corrected soon. Aditya
