Confirm
One tree of 2002 ("still-crazy-after-all-these-years").
Another of 2004.
Switch to last pdftex/context sometimes second quarter of this year;
switch to luatex at the end of next year.
Why switch ?
Last versions. are better (speed and features);
pdf spec. change .

On average, my macros are not completly portable from one tree to another,
but I'm sure that this depend from my poor coding tecnique for 95% .
5% is made by spaces and fonts .

pdf has some sort of  compression .
Do  \pdfcompresslevel=0 \pdfobjcompresslevel=0

Are you using MikTeX by any chance? This is broken exactly in the
version which MikTeX is using (which is the last one uploaded on
CTAN). You can take a recent version of ConTeXt (cont-tmf.zip from
pragma), unzip it, refresh filename database and recreate formats
(either explicitely for cont-en or uncheck the box "exclude this
format when updating" and recreate all formats). (The exact phrases
might be slightly different.)

The problem is that a recent version of ConTeXt requires pdfTeX 1.40
(but the described procedure worked for me in 2.5 and broke the whole
MikTeX in 2.6, although when I tried to reproduce the bug(?) for the
second time, it worked again).

It's up to Taco to decide when to upload a more recent and reasonably
stable version of ConTeXt to CTAN, but now when MikTeX 2.6 with the
latest pdfTeX has officially been released, it would make sense to get
rid of that bug in MikTeX (not necessary without introducing new
ones). The version of ConTeXt on TeX Live (with a fixed "euro bug")
seems stable enough to me, but of course it could be a later version
as well. MikTeX doesn't include XeTeX yet, so the recently broken font
handling wouldn't influence it too much.

(As far as I know, MikTeX is basically the only really important
distribution which fetches ConTeXt from CTAN. Other distributions are
either based on TeXLive or fetch recent files from Pragma.)

What I meant was


\setupoutput[pdftex]
\enableregime[utf]
\setupindenting[yes,medium]

\starttext

\placeformula \startformula\startalign[n=1]
  \NC 2I_{\rm d} = I_{\rm e}^0

  \NC \lambda_{\rm D} =  \sqrt{\epsilon_0 k_{\rm B}T_{\rm e} \over 
nq_{\rm e}^2}
  \NR[eq:debye]
\stopalign\stopformula

or better

\placeformula \startformula\startalign[n=2]
  \NC 2I_{\rm d} \EQ I_{\rm e}^0
  \left[
\exp\left({-qU\over k_{\rm B} T_{\rm e}}\right)
-1 \right]
 + I_{\rm i1}-I_{\rm i2} \NR
  \NC \lambda_{\rm D} \EQ
  \sqrt{\epsilon_0 k_{\rm B}T_{\rm e} \over nq_{\rm e}^2}
  \NR[eq:debye]
\stopalign\stopformula

\stoptext

If you feel that some formulas are too close, you can add 
\noalign{\vskip 1ex} between lines. Otherwise, if you want all 
multi-line formulas to be more spread out, change

\def\displayopenupvalue{0.25\bodyfontsize}

to something other than .25. \displayopenup value is equivalent to \jot 
in plain tex.

Did you do the step of finding and removing all the old .fmt files?

On my system, fmtuil-sys puts the cont-en.fmt formats in
texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/ and texmf-var/web2c/xetex/,
but the context tools put them under texmf-config, so it
is all easy to end up with multiple versions of the .fmt files.

[NTG-context] Broken pdfs and many tools don't work

it could be just a matter of taste but I prefer to call just pdftex or
xetex and the engine with the preloaded plain TeX formats, this is
shorter because the format files pdftex.fmt or xetex.fmt are loaded by
default with the engines and xetex has sets also charclasses to a few
charcaters in his own plain format.

> and alike? i have nu clue what ini files are for

nearly the same thing you do with your cont-de, cont-en files, the load
plain.tex and seta few option like pdfoutput=1 in pdftex.ini.

A simple pdftex.ini could look like

\input plain
\pdfoutput=1
\dump

I know the ini files from w32tex and don't know how the other TeX
distributions like TeXlive or MikTeX handle the formats but I like this
system and the ini files also in the ConTeXt minimals.

I can confirm that context works fine on ubuntu 7.10 (amd 64). I 
recently installed it on my laptop (fresh install of ubuntu), and 
followed the instructions on the wiki, and it worked. So, the ubuntu 
repository is ok.

I cannot help with the problem since I am still trying to figure out 
the nitty gritty of linux.

Then XeTeX can treat otf fonts correctly? I never tried that. I convert the
otf file into multiple type1 fonts (which compiles much more faster on my
PC) and I got 1.7M with 60 pages with pdftex embed the subsets. And I got
440.9K with the same document and the same tfm files except I specify Adobe
Reader to use SimSun and not embed any fonts. I like the later.

xetex just pipes data into dvipdfmx, and dvipdfmx can subset (this was 
accomplished by Chof, who lives in Korea and uses huge fonts)

Well ... I would say ... you need to start somewhere and once you

[NTG-context] Re: fonts in context (general question)

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello Severin,

Your question applies to TeX in general (LaTeX as well as other
formats). 

> is that true that i always need a *.tfm and *.pfb file of a font to use it
> in context??

if you use pdftex: yes. If you use Knuth's TeX: only *tfm files are
used. But as soon as you generate a ps or pdf file for
viewing/printing, the pfb file gets used.

I don't know anything about texfont, but this looks slightly odd at
first sight. 

> when I use texfont *.tfm and *.vf are generated. what are the *.vf files
> good for??

vf stands for virtual font. These fonts are normally used to change
the encoding of an original font. You use the vf without noticing it,
when switching to ec encoding for example. The dvi driver (or pdftex)
is mapping the special characters (8-bit characters) to the
position really used in the font (well, not completely true) by
looking at the virtual font. For example when you request a ß
(germandbls) and have ec encoding activated, TeX looks for a glyph in
position 255 (decimal).  But the real font is 8r encoded and the
germandbls is in position 223. There is a virtual font (phvr8t.vf for
example) that has the mapping 255 -> 223 (377 -> 337 octal):

(CHARACTER O 377
   (CHARWD R 0.610999)
   (CHARHT R 0.735498)
   (CHARDP R 0.011493)
   (MAP
  (SETCHAR O 337)
  )
   )

So TeX gets the dimensions from the vf as above, but the dvi/pdf
driver looks inside the vf and sees "the charcter 377 (octal) is
really character 337 (octal)". But there is much *more* that can be
done with vf. See Knuth's "More fun for grand wizards" article about
virtual fonts.

Thanks, I missed those keys in the manual.

FitBH means, fit to width of bounding box. When reading text on the screen,
the combination of FullScreen and FitBH seems to me optimal.

When you create a pdf-file of the following LaTeX-source (with pdflatex),
you see all features, I'm looking for:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfstartview=FitBH,pdfpagemode=FullScreen,

BTW, how do you create bookmarks with ConTeXt?
I tried the following, but it did not work:

Yes, I know. Of course this is an improvement. But I've already set it up

Nevertheless it seems to me that there're several problems still. I'm using

Mmh, I'm that familiar with ConTeXt ;-) Hopefully the patterns will do
most.
But of course
  \installcompoundcharacter "ck {\discretionary {k-}{k}{ck}} 
should be changed to
  \installcompoundcharacter "ck {\discretionary {-}{ck}{ck}} 
((ck should always stay as it is; maybe one even don't need this def

Apple has a limited idea of what's a reference in the bookmark list. They
only have a partial implementation of the spec. Hans's use of the PDF
spec with the bookmarks is a little "loose." I studied this in more
detail with respect to XeTeX. I might be able to find some of that
correspondence. Oh, here it is:

Yeah, that sums up the difference between a link that doesn't work, and
one that does, in Preview.app. ConTeXt may use a bit of JavaScript in
some of its links, which Preview.app has a tough time with.

I haven't looked at this in detail lately, and barely at all with the
pdftex drivers. Hans, do you think it would be hard to turn direct page
links into indirect links (point to page object)?

Re: [NTG-context] acro bat 7

[Willi Egger]

Hi,
Indeed there was upon a time such a discussion ... Though not 
remembering the details, I found a test file and after a small 
adaptation it gives two pages:
- first page: page-background green (as defined by Context)
- second page: page-background as the first page, text area gets a 
transparent color with the values "normal, 0.5, white".

The result in Acrobat Reader 7 is indeed not to expectation. The page 
backround on the second page is still green, though not at all of the 
same colour.

Apparently there is no mistake in the pdftex-PDF-file because viewing 
this file with Acrobat 5 (!) the result is as expected. The 
page-background remains the same green on both pages.

Kind regards Willi

Can you test this on your machine as well?

[NTG-context] Installing a non-standard encoding vector

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear gang,

I'm trying to install an expert font a with a non-standard encoding vector; 
can't use texnansi, ec, etc.. I tried the following:

1. I created an encoding file for my font (minion-o.enc), following the syntax

/encminiono[
/ornament1
:
/ornament23
/space 
] def

2. I placed the encoding file in /texmf-fonts/fonts/enc/dvips/minion-o;

3. I ran TeXFont:

==
   encoding vector : minion-o
   vendor name : adobe
   source path : .
   font collection : minion-o
   texmf font root : c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts

   source path : .
  processing files : all on afm path
locating afm files : using pattern *

   copying : pmnrp8a.afm
 copying files : pfb
   copying : pmnrp8a.pfb
no map file at :

ion-o-adobe-minion-o.map

   font identifier : Minion-Ornaments -> text -> tfm + vf
generating raw tfm/vpl : minion-o-raw-pmnrp8a (from pmnrp8a)
! tokens 3 to 257 in encoding must be literal names
] def

 ^
 generating new vf : minion-o-pmnrp8a (from minion-o-raw-pmnrp8a)
 updating map file : minion-o-adobe-minion-o.map
==

but \showfont does not show any of my characters.

There appears to be one error:

==
! tokens 3 to 257 in encoding must be literal names
==

The label says:

==
name: minion-o-pmnrp8a encoding: minion-o mapping: minion-o handling: default
==

What am I missing here? How can I can install this font with my own encoding 
so that \showfont will display it?

I enclose the complete encoding vector.

Best and Thnx
Idris

Thanks all. This problem solved.

Subject: Re: [NTG-context] How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?

Hi,

texexec's  --pdf switch uses pdfetex to generate a pdf document directly,
and pdftex does not accept images in eps format, only .pdf, .jpg and .png
are supported.

The  error message is slightly misleading, because it actually means:

  "figures: xx.eps.pdf has zero dimensions"

If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to
pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf
route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex).

Side note: it is generally better to use a 'bare' \externalfigure[xx]
instead
of giving an explicit extension. That way, assuming you have xx.eps and
xx.pdf,
both dvi and pdf trajects would work without the need for source changes.

Greetings, Taco

[NTG-context] Re: Accents in MathML

[Duncan Hothersall]

I said:

> Interestingly, if I forget about unicode and use é instead of é,
> then no matter what I put in the preamble I get the e with a guillemot
> superimposed. So whatever is mapping é incorrectly seems also to be
> mapping é incorrectly.

Further testing suggests that my problem is this:

Between \startXMLdata and \stopXMLdata, where MathML is being parsed
directly by ConTeXt, I get the wrong results for accented characters
within  elements. For example, I get an e character with a
guillemot superimposed on top when I want an e with an acute accent. It
doesn't seem to matter whether the markup is unicode é, the entity
é, or the command \eacute.

Similar problems happen with other accents I have tried. In the case of
  ñ the accent is almost right but comes out too big (looks like the
maths version of the accent?).

The following is my local test file, using unicode and comparing running
text to  in MathML:

--
\mainlanguage[es]\enableregime[utf]\useencoding[uc]
\usemodule[mathml]\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
Situación niños volúmenes sí interés:
\startXMLdata Situación niños
volúmenessí
interés\stopXMLdata
\stoptext
--

The following is a non-unicode test file that will process on Live and
exhibits the same errors in the MathML accent rendering. It uses entity
references instead of unicode in the MathML, but because they map to the
same thing the output is the same:

--
\mainlanguage[es]\enableregime[utf]\useencoding[uc]
\usemodule[mathml]\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\startXMLdata Situación
niños volúmenessí
interés\stopXMLdata
\stoptext
--

I have a feeling I have made this more complex than it needed to be, but
can anyone shed light on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Duncan

PS Apologies for the nonsense Spanish content - it's just random words

Re: [NTG-context] Does ConTeXt really support russian language?

I admit that those instructions are confusing.

There are two completely different ways to use Cyrillic.

1.) Using LuaTeX or XeTeX
2.) Using pdfTeX

(That's not the best choice.)

ConTeXt minimals contains the following fonts with cyrillic glyphs:
- TeX Gyre, but the quality of Cyrillic is not optimal (the guys need
some expert in Cyrillic to fix fonts)
- Gentium
- Antykwa Torunska
- Iwona & Kurier
with support for Cyrillic.

They don't contain the cm-super fonts (and that's important
information). TeX Live 2008 contains cm-super fonts as well.

You first need to tell us what font you want to use and which engine.

For pdfTeX you need:

\enableregime[utf-8] % (but maybe only \enableregime[utf] works at the
moment due to some bug)
\mainlanguage[ru] % or [russian]
\usetypescript[name][t2a]
\setupbodyfont[name]

Where name could be one of the allowed fonts from the set above. Try
the following (with texexec):

\enableregime[utf]
\mainlanguage[ru]
\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][t2a]
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]

\starttext
Немного русского текста для пробы.
\stoptext

or this (with "texexec --xtx" or "context"):

\mainlanguage[ru]
\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska]
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]

\starttext
Немного русского текста для пробы.
\stoptext

just to make sure that it works.

After that, you need to tell what font you want to use and what engine
you want to use.

pdfTeX's handling of Cyrillic is kind-of-a-hack. XeTeX and LuaTeX
handle UTF-8 natively, but esp. LuaTeX is still a tiny bit
experimental (which means that you should not rely on its functionaliy
on critical documents), but much more powerful.

> LaTeX, from the same installations of TeXlive 2008 and teTeX,  works out box,
> just as simple as:
> \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

The same command in ConTeXt reads
   \enableregime[utf-8]

> \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}

The equivalent in ConTeXt is to add [t2a] in the \usetypescript line,
but only when you work with pdfTeX. With XeTeX and LuaTeX this hack
becomes obsolete.

Note that this gives you cm-super fonts, but those are only available
in TeX Live, not in the minimals.

This is supposed to work. It's a bug that it doesn't:

Variant 1:
\definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default]
[encoding=t2a]
\setupbodyfont [russian]

Variant 2:
\usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] % Hans - why only modern-base?
\setupbodyfont[modern]

I could provide you a patch for any given font but Computer Modern. Taco?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this how I understand TFM font and currect
state of tex engines (actually pdftex, xetex and luatex):
1. to use any font in tex one need a TFM file (file name = fontname.TFM),
that file actually contain informationabout font, not how exatly glyphs
are constructed;
2. when [original] tex read a document file it searches for TFM and VF
files, read them and write DVI file with information about that files;
3. after that user can send file to printer or publisher to print it on
printer. As I understand the purpose of checksum was to be sure that
publisher or printer would use exatly the same fonts as user. If user
converts DVI file to PS/PDF one on his/she computer using dvips or
dvipdfm* the checksum mostly useless, assuming files are not corrupted.

Nowadays pdftex, xetex and luatex are widely used and most time users
generate PDF files on the same computer they write documents, send PDF
files which have they own mechanism to check font consistency.

But still there are [plenty] DVI files around, as well as luatex engine
might generate DVI file. The convertion to PS/PDF is performed by
dvips/dvipdfm* programs, that's ok. But what about luatex with DVI
output?

My conclusion:
1. if PDF output is only interesting then it is Ok, ignore that message,
because font information is already in PDF and PDF programs should deal
with it;
2. if DVI output is concerned then luatex _must_ be consistent with
pdftex (also can write DVI files), which, imho (don't check), takes care
about both TFM and VF checksums.

You process your document with MkIV (texexec  or context --pdftex 
) but your document requires MkIV (context ) because you 
use the command \definehightlight which is only available with MkIV.

I fear it was even more complicated. Also some strangeness in the map
files which i discovered myself in the meantime.
I ripped all the context folders from my system and saw that there
were even map files in /etc

$locate -r /context$
/etc/texmf/map/dvips/context
/etc/texmf/map/pdftex/context
/etc/texmf/context
/usr/share/doc/texmf/context
/usr/share/doc/texmf/polish/context
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/context
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/context
/usr/share/texmf/context
/usr/share/texmf/metapost/context
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/hoekwater/context
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/context
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/hoekwater/context
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/hoekwater/context
/usr/share/texmf/scripts/context
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/context

I grepped for ec-lmt-12 in the map files and it wasn't there. But
these were identical (i.e. the second contained references to cork.
(why??))

$ diff cork-public-lm.map ec-public-lm.map
$


So I just did $rm -rf `locate -r /context$` and inflated the
cont-tmf.zip back into the tree. Maybe it would have been better to
use my home dir texmf for that but there were a .texmf, a texmf and a
.texmf-var already and I didn't want to hunt for some stale files
first.

It's a bad combination and makes the situation even more complicated
and increasingly arcane to setup and debug. All these texmfs, maps,
tfms and whatnot. Insane. Plus ConText's output only makes sense to
the developers.
Latin modern is up and running, though. Phew.
My initial intention to compile the PDFTex docs still is a no-go. It
is asking for  the ec-urw-palatino.map which doesn't exist :(

This is influenced by the variable trie_size in your texmf.cnf. In my  
unmodified TeXLive 2007, this is 30; I have no idea why Gerben  
changed it. You could try setting this to a larger value and then  
regenerate the formats.

Hmm, you have conflicting path names: this is what kps uses:
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local

and this is where texexec looks for the files:

/usr/local/Build/powerpc/TeXLive.2006/

Where does this path come from? Do you have leftovers from older  
installations? Did you install TeXLIve from source at some point?  
What does
whence -av texexec
give?

No offense but xdvipdfmx has some problem with the graphics. I'm kind of one
of the managers of the Chinese TeX Society and we have a forum called CTeX
forum, and there're a lot of posts complaining that xdvipdfmx will cut part
of their graphics. For instance, if they draw a picture with metapost,
xdvipdfmx will only show the first quadrant of it. I guess it's confused
about the boundingbox and the accordinate.

[NTG-context] Why LuaMetaTex is so slow?

[Shiv Shankar Dayal]

I can process TeXBook in almost an instant using PDFTeX which is about 450+
pages but my math book takes around 30 seconds averaging ~40 pages/second.

Why LuaMetaTeX is so slow? How can I speed it up?

  Right, you don't need additional engine support, you can use \pdfliteral in
pdfTeX, and in LuaTeX as well.  Heiko's package should be quite easy to port to
ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt 2007.01.02

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

Not even 40 hours into the new year, there is already a new ConTeXt
release available for download from htp://www.pragma-ade.com .

Bugfixes:

 * re-enable norwegian hyphenation patterns
 * footnote referencing fix
 * fix use of prime and underscore in math displays
   (that was already in 2006.12.27)

New feature:

* Use the low-level support for ToUnicode mapping in the
  (likewise brand new) pdftex 1.40, if possible.


Wishing everybody all the best and lots of fun in 2007,

They might not be used with pdftex 1.40, which (from what I gathered

do font extension.

Is this a side-effect of context 2007.01.12 demanding pdftex 1.40?

I guess this is due to the fact that contextgarden still uses pdftex
1.2.x and current ConTeXt requires(??) 1.4 - right?

I am trying to work this out, but I obviously miss the gentium

I can get the ttfs from the sil site, but where did the tfms
and map files come from?

I agree. We probably all agree, Hans included. But we also need
improved days with more (or longer) hours. That, and pdftex and
xetex should stop evolving.  Nothing is as disruptive as new
features :-)

In the autumn, Hans and I hopefully have the spare time to think
about some of the issues related to context releases, patches and
distributions.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that pdftex doesn't handle eps? If
this is true, you can convert eps files to pdf with epstopdf, that
ships with texlive.

Depends a bit on your font setup.

In mkiv and xetex and pdftex with texnansi font encoding and
in xml input, just type ª.

If that doesn't work, there is the macro \ordfeminine

pdftex does not find the font-outlines (PFBs). after installation, did you
 rehash the ls-R database?

try:
kpsewhich pxsy.pfb
to check if the fonts can be found

The current beta (just uploaded) tries to satisfy dvips with regards to the map

so, we now have:

texexec --pdf somefile

The output is appended below and looks reasonable.  In particular, it shows
that I installed under /opt/local/share/texlive and doesn't mention the
"mtxrun --generate" output path /opt/texmf-var at all.

Please note that I don't use tlmgr and also that I didn't use the TeX Live
installer.  I built the binaries from their sources and then installed
the rest from the texmf archive file. I use other engines on a daily basis,
mostly pdflatex, and they work flawlessly.

Thanks, Rainer

\chapter{From \MKII\ to \MKIV}

Sometime in 2005 the development of \LUATEX\ started, a further
development of \PDFTEX\ and a precursor to \PDFTEX\ version~2. This
\TEX\ variant will provide:

\startitemize[packed]
\item 21--32 bit internals plus a code cleanup
\item flexible support for \OPENTYPE\ fonts
\item an internal \UTF\ data flow
\item the bidirectional typesetting of \ALEPH
\item \LUA\ callbacks to the most relevant \TEX\ internals
\item some extensions to \TEX\ (for instance math)
\item an efficient way to communicate with \METAPOST
\stopitemize

In the tradition of \TEX\ this successor will be downward
compatible in most essential parts and in the end, there is
still \PDFTEX\ version~1 as fall back.

In the mean time we have seen another unicode variant show up,
\XETEX\ which is under active development, uses external
libraries, provides access to the fonts on the operating system,
etc.

 From the beginning, \CONTEXT\ always worked with all engines. This
was achieved by conditional code blocks: depending on what engine
was used, different code was put in the format and|/|or used at
runtime. Users normally were unaware of this. Examples of engines
are \ETEX, \ALEPH, and \XETEX. Because nowadays all engines
provide the \ETEX\ features, in August 2006 we decided to consider
those features to be present and drop providing the standard \TEX\
compatible variants. This is a small effort because all code that
is sensitive for optimization already has \ETEX\ code branches for
many years.

However, with the arrival of \LUATEX, we need a more drastic approach.
Quite some existing code can go away and will be replaced by different
solutions. Where \TEX\ code ends up in the format file, along with
its state, \LUA\ code will be initiated at run time, after a \LUA\
instance is started. \CONTEXT\ reserves its own instance of \LUA.

Most of this will go unnoticed for the users because the user
interface will not change. For developers however, we need to
provide a mechanism to deal with these issues. This is why, for the
first time in \CONTEXT's history we will officially use a kind of
version tag. When we changed the low level interface from Dutch to
English we jokingly talked of version~2. So, it makes sense to
follow this lead.

\startitemize[packed]

\item \notabene {\CONTEXT\ \MKI}\quad At that moment we still had a
low level Dutch interface, invisible for users but not for developers.

\item \notabene {\CONTEXT\ \MKII}\quad We now have a low level English
interface, which (as we indeed saw happen) triggers more development by
users.

\item \notabene {\CONTEXT\ \MKIV}\quad This is the next generation of
\CONTEXT, with parts re||implemented. It's an at some points drastic
system overhaul.

\stopitemize

Keep in mind that the functionality does not change, although in
some places, for instance fonts, \MKIV\ may provide additional
functionality. The reason why most users will not notice the
difference (maybe apart from performance and convenience) is that at
the user interface level nothing changes (most of it deals with
typesetting, not with low level details).

The hole in the numbering permits us to provide a \MKIII\ version
as well. Once \XETEX\ is stable, we may use that slot for \XETEX\
specific implementations.

As per August 2006 the banner is adapted to this distinction:

\starttyping
...  ver: 2006.09.06 22:46 MK II  fmt: 2006.9.6  ...
...  ver: 2006.09.06 22:47 MK IV  fmt: 2006.9.6  ...
\stoptyping

This numbering system is reflected at the file level in such a way
that we can keep developing the way we do, i.e.\ no files all over
the place, in subdirectories, etc.

Most of the system's core files are not affected, but some may be, like
those dealing with fonts, input- and output encodings, file handling,
etc. Those files may come with different suffixes:

\startitemize

\item \type {somefile.tex}: the main file, implementing the interface
and common code

\item \type {somefile.mkii}: mostly existing code, suitable for good
old \TEX\ (\ETEX, \PDFTEX, \ALEPH).

\item \type {somefile.mkiv}: code optimized for use with \LUATEX, which
could follow completely different approaches

\item \type {somefile.lua}: \LUA\ code, loaded at format generation time
and|/|or runtime

\stopitemize

As said, some day \type {somefile.mkiii} code may show up. Which
variant is loaded is determined automatically at format generation
time as well as at run time.

[NTG-context] Can I compare with someone?

[David Arnold]

All,

I've recently installed tetex 2.0.2. I am having difficulty with Metapost
and I am wondering if I have a good installation. If someone else out there
is running tetex 2.0.2, could you try the following on your system and tell
me if you get similar results. Also, if I'm making some sort of silly
mistake, please let me know.

I have a little file named junk.mp.

beginfig(1);
path p;
p:=fullcircle scaled 100pt;
draw p;
endfig;
end.

It compiles much as I expect.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] darnold]$ mpost junk
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.4.5)
(junk.mp [1] )

Transcript written on junk.log.

No problems. Now I add a line to junk.mp.

beginfig(1);
path p;
p:=fullcircle scaled 100pt;
draw p;
label(btex $x$ etex, center p);
endfig;
end.

Now, when I compile, texexec seems to be invoked. Is this what happens on
your systems? Is this correct behavior?

I now add another line to junk.mp. This is an attempt to get 10pt font size.

beginfig(1);
defaultscale:=10pt/fontsize defaultfont;
path p;
p:=fullcircle scaled 100pt;
draw p;
label(btex $x$ etex, center p);
endfig;
end.

But when I compile, I still get 12pt. And the culprit seems to be:

bodyfont   : 12pt rm is loaded

I tried the following workaround by editing junk.mp. But,

mpost junk

produces this error message:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \documentclass
  [10pt]{article}

So, I try:

mpost --tex=latex junk

But now my system tries to build cont-en.fmt. Toward the end, one message I
get is:

Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.

But this doesn't make sense, as cont-en.efmt is already built.
