Dear conglomerate,
Ok, I've installed mswincontext.zip, dated 3-16, refreshed fndb,
set UseEnginePath to true
and so forth.
4 Problems:
1. Zapf Chancery has disappeared (the other free fonts in showfonts.pdf still
work):
==========================
\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
\switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]
Zapf Chancery
\input tufte.tex
==========================
Log file:
===========================
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3) (format=cont-en

<snip>
===========================
2. aleph is still searching its format in the wrong directory; its format is
properly installed in
\texmf-mswin/web2c/aleph/
===========================
This is Aleph, Version 3.141592-1.15-2.1-0.0-rc4 (Web2c 7.5.3)
\write18 enabled.
Copyright (c) 2002--2004 the Aleph task force
---! c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-mswin/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt was written by
pdfetex
===========================
3. If I replace the pdfetex format with
aleph.fmt, the latter works. It copiles fine on the following file, but
neither dvips, odvips, or dvipdfm can find the fonts:
===========================
% output=aleph interface=en
\starttext
Latin Modern
\input tufte
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm]
Times
\input tufte.tex
\stoptext
===========================
Also, aleph displays the strange "HASH" message:
===========================
TeXExec 5.2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
Opt=HASH(0x1c44160) executable : aleph
===========================
4. That trick with the footnotes and endnotes is interesting, but the endnotes
still spill over the page (I double-checked that core-not was replaced and the
format regenerated):
===========================
% output=pdftex interface=en
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{test \footnote{test} \endnote{eee}\endgraf}
\page
\placenotes[endnote]
\stoptext
===========================
5. I'm still concerned about getting ConTeXt to search my old \TeXLive tree
secondarily. changing
C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf
does not seem to do anything (sigh )
==
I really hope I can get everything working soon, because I've lost about a
week's worth of deadlined writing fooling around with configuring ConTeXt
(which is exactly what I was afraid would happen):-(
Thnx in advance, and forgive my frustration-)
