Hi, Looks like your update went fine excep that you have an old format file still on your disk: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! Context source version used to generate cont-en.fmt: FormatVersion : 2006.07.14 12:08 Current (runtime) source version:

Search for the stale cont-en.fmt and delete it. Right -- most likely produced by fmtutil before you commented out the automatic regeneration of context formats. Same problem happens with other Unix installations, e.g. I got bit a few times on Debian and Ubuntu. Here's one way to find the

never try to do tricky stuff like definitions inside MPenvironement, because it is parsed and changed slightly. I'm learning that lesson too. Another one: don't use btex..etex instead use \sometxt. So I now try to use the MPenvironment only for font and size switching (e.g. if I want the

Now that \sometxt works with static figures (thanks!), I'm converting from using btex..etex to using \sometxt, to avoid MPenvironments (instead put it in the general .tex environment). But I ran into an error with macro arguments and static figures. Let me know if it's not worth fixing in view
