Hi,
I tried to begin a presentation, and tried to learn from the best (Hans Hagen
in this case ;-)
However, I get a failure with the minimal test case below. Some (I think
relevant) fragments of the logs are included (sorry for the long mail).
I'm using TeXLive with a recent version of context (see dates in the log). Is
this a symptom of updating only part of the setup? If so: what parts should I
update to get things to work?
Some of you may recall that I had trouble with the pos fonts on teTeX a while
ago. I switched to TeXLive and there it works. Will try to find out if the
problem is related to Mac OS X or teTeX.
Kind regards,
Maarten Sneep

MetaFun is not matching the used ConTeXt version. Do you have rebuilt the metafun-format? texexec --make --alone metafun and move the mem-file in your web2c directory. A while ago Hans has chenged the location of the MetaFun modules in the texmf-tree. Thus, check if the right modules are found. Jens

I suspected something like this.

I'll double check that. Thanks for the confimation. Kind regards, Maarten

My MetaFun has never worked until now, thanks to this tip it now does! Hooray!

Your code compiles without problems here (except for the pos fonts). Are zour formats of the same version of context? texexec --make en metafun Willi

As far as I know this problem is caused by the old metapost macro files. Check this directory: '$TEXMF/metapost/context' and see if you have same *.mp files in this directory as well as in the directory '$TEXMF/metapost/context/base'. If you do, which I believe you must:), delete all the mp files in '$TEXMF/metapost/context', refresh the name database and regenerate the metafun format file as other people have suggested. Everything should be fine after this. Good Luck, Guo Maarten Sneep wrote:
