Hi,
When I use XeTeX, font searching through texmf- tree is very slow.
search font through fontconfig is very fast.
plain TeX or LaTeX does not have that problem.
why is that? anyway to improve it?

Hello,
When I use
mtxrun.cmd --script mtx-update.lua --update --force --engine=all
--platform=windows --context=beta --texroot=C:\contextminimal
the rsync ends up with something like "destination and source locations
are the same".
I had many problems with updating this way, but when download
afaik beta is the real beta and experimental often alpha
OK, can I download experimental version using mtx-update? The code
comment says 'experimental is not implemented'. Is it?

Hi,
- the problem with creating formats is related to changes in texexec
(and other rb modules) that rely on ruby 1.8 and had to be adapted to
1.9; because incompatibilities in library calls are nicely catched
(begin .. rescue ... end) we never see problems unless we explicitly
issue an error

It still works for me. You are still using ruby 1.8, I assume?
> TeXExec | unable to make format due to lack of permissions
Also, it seems that sometimes you get that when you are creating
the formats from within
