\bitwiseflip \normalizelinemode \flattendiscretionariescode The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined. ... mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting
This thread (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/101645.html) reports the same problem. Latest from today has this problem either installing it from scratch or updating it. You need the binaries for Linux that Wolfgang provided (Linux and Windows only): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/liggfcfulksscvf/AAD1gIlsRaKFSUIebDx2vxiLa?dl=0. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
