different download files

different download files

[Frans Goddijn]

Hello,

on http://www.ntg.nl/context/download.htm I can find several files but what
I'd appreciate is a short explanation with them on that same download page.
For instance, I now have

CONT-WRK ZIP       151.810  22-02-02  17:40 cont-wrk.zip
CONT-FNT ZIP       870.611  22-02-02  17:41 cont-fnt.zip
CONT-TMF ZIP     1.668.711  22-02-02  17:42 cont-tmf.zip

and if I look into those, they each have a nuber of identically named
(overlapping) files. Are the top two included in the cont-tmf.zip or is
there another reason why I'd download and unpack one and not the others, two
of them or all three of these?

I unpacked them in my .../texmf-var/... directory. Once I get things to work
properly, I will copy that complete sub-tree to a separate directory where
subsequent updates of TeXLive won't touch it.

To find out how rto get my fonts in order, I was doing my sunday's homework
along the lines provided in
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html
and I found that my kpsewhich couldn't find the file "type-buy" so I
upgraded to the files mentioned above and after a mktexlsr the file is now
found...

So far this has worked:

\steluitvoerin[pdftex]
\definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=8r]
\definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold]
\starttekst
\MySecondFont daar gaatie weer voor de tweede keer
\stoptekst

So I can try to move on...

Regards,

Frans

you only need the big zip, the fnt one will go away some day and wrk is not 
needed

copy? move is better since otherwise the var path will be seen first 
(depends on the settings); i never use var;

Here i have the following setup (which permits me to swap in other trees 
for testing):

tex/texmf       -> a complete copy of the texmf dir of tex live (beware, 
some win's are incapable of copying thess 40K files)
tex/texmf-local -> the unzipped cont-tmf (beta)
tex/texmf-fonts -> the fonts i want to use as generated by texfont + 
commercial fonts
tex/texmf-mswin -> windows /bin and windows /web2c
tex/texmf-linux -> linux binaries and linux /web2c

then i have (in a minimal setup situation):

SET TEXPATH=c:\tex

and

SET TEXMFMAIN=%TEXPATH%/texmf
SET TEXMFLOCAL=%TEXPATH%/texmf-local
SET TEXMFFONTS=%TEXPATH%/texmf-fonts
SET TEXMFMSWIN=%TEXPATH%/texmf-mswin
SET TEXMFLINUX=%TEXPATH%/texmf-linux
SET VARTEXMF=%TEXPATH%/texmf-var
SET HOMETEXMF=

SET TEXMFCNF=%TEXPATH%/texmf{-local,}/web2c

SET TEXMF={$TEXMFMSWIN,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

plus

SET TEXFORMATS=%TEXMFMSWIN%/web2c

and to satisfy tex binaries:

SET PATH=%TEXMFLOCAL%\CONTEXT\PERLTK;%TEXMFMSWIN%\BIN;%PATH%

as well as perl:

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PERL\BIN

[this goes into 4start.bat since i use 4tex]
