There is a high chance that lots of things had to be synchronized just because the date is different than it used to be on the old server. Maybe you observed that? But I didn't do any timings either. (Hans' explanation is also possible, but less likely.) I'm actually curious about the highest speed that people can get when fetching files from the server. > 3.

Re: [NTG-context] 'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature
Hi Luigi, I got ConTeXt installed and running, but the install was very choppy. FYI the script you gave me had several problems, which I'll detail here. 1) Throughout you want freefont-ttf-20120503 rather than freefont-src-20120503 2) This line has a stray backslash character bash /first-setup.sh --modules=simplefonts 3) The command mtxrun --script font --reload searches a bunch of directories for fonts, but not the directory texmf-project/fonts/ My work-around was just to copy the *.ttf files to texmf-fonts/ and then re-do the mtxrun line. 4) You might want to explain that the source /opt/luatex/standalone-new/tex/setuptex has to be done once at the start of each session, or else bad things happen. 5) Generally it would be good to dilineate what should be done as root, and where normal user stuff starts.

Hm , nothing bad: you use the default pdftex/xetex/luatex --- nothing of catastrophic, this doesn't touch your mkiv in anyway.

A normal user cannot even download first-setup.sh and install the files. But if he can then he can install context under his home and mkiv works ok -- no need to be root. This can be useful in a server that run context as service -- create a user that manage the context, a common pattern (apache, mysql, postgres, etc).

[NTG-context] Which version to use for MathML?
