[NTG-context] pdfTeX-1.40 does not find format
Hello, I try to use the beta versions of ConTeXt and pdfTeX now and I find the following issue (on latest TeX-live): with TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,} in texmf.cnf and pdfTeX-1.40.XXX, texexec --make writes the formats to texmf-config/web2c/pdfetex but pdftex looks only into texmf-config/web2c A symbolic link from texmf-config/web2c/cont-en.fmt to pdfetex/cont-en.fmt solves the problem. Is this issue already known and is there perhaps a better solution?

Is this issue already known and is there perhaps a better solution? pdfetex is no longer valid, it's pdftex now (includes etex); so. remove any trace of pdfetex, take the latest texexec, adn regenerate the formats (in this respect 1.40 is not downward compatible with tex live) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Does not downward compatible mean, that there are other more serious issues?
