when i first run the new context, a new line in the output immediately caught my attention: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing texformat path : .:{!!/home/f/.texmf-config,!!/home/f/.texmf-var,/home/f /texmf,!!/etc/texmf,!!/var/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/tex mf-local,!!/usr/local/share/texmf-dist}/web2c/{$engine,}{pdfetex,} so i thought, ok, here's the path issue. so i added "{$engine,}" as intructed, but it turned out that that this new line comes up anyway. could anyone comment on it? the next tip is to --\startquote--------------------------------------------------- While at it, you probably want to set shell_escape = t if it isn't already. --\stopquote---------------------------------------------------- in the default openbsd package this line says: shell_escape = f what is the difference? and what is it for anyway? some external execution of the legends are true? :) -f -- i'm not old. i'm chronologically gifted.
