Problem with MkIV on texlive2008

Problem with MkIV on texlive2008

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi,

I did everything as wiki says, and after "context test-06" I get

/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux/mtxrun:9016: attempt to index
global 'today' (a function value)

What might be wrong?

(I also chmod'ed all things in some .../script directories to executables.)

I forgot to include one more line of output: altogether it says

MtxRun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux/mtxrun:9016: attempt to index
global 'today' (a function value)

Please help...

It is impossible to split a cube into two cubes, a fourth power into
two fourth powers and so on.  I've found a remarkable proof of this
fact, but unfortunately it's too long to fit into the signature.

mtxrun --selfupdate
luatools --selfupdate

If the problem still remains send us a example.

There is a small, but fatal bug in the script. You have to open the
mtxrun script in a text editor and fix line 9016 so it says:

   today = os.date('*t')

Best wishes,

no 'today' in my version here; i'l regenerated mtxrun and luatools and 
push a beta (which will then end up in the minimals)

OK, now it seems to work: I run luatools --generate and context --make
as a user, not root.  Why does it work?

And one more question:

texexec whatever.tex

and

context whatever.tex

yield *different* pdf files: the MkIV one renders very poorly in xpdf
(evince is ok).  The properties dialog of evince says something about
Type 1C (CID) fonts.

Doues it mean I have to throw xpdf out?  It would be a pity, since it is
much more comfortable than evince...

So I'm doing:

$ cat test-07.tex
\starttext

---------
AIGPIG+LMRoman12-Regular             CID Type 0C       yes yes yes

Any ideas what to do so that it could look better in xpdf?

On my logs, I see that mkii uses type1
while  mkiv uses otf.

Maybe this is the difference.

Re: Problem with MkIV on texlive2008

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Wolfgang,

I experience the same things as Marcin with ConTeXt Minimals from the  
Garden.
Doing
	mtxrun --selfupdate
or
	luatools --selfupdate
does not solve the problem.
My minimal file can be:
\starttext
This file has been typeset
on \currentdate{}
at \currenttime,
with
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}
	{mkiv,
	LuaTeX revision \luatexrevision,
	(LuaTeX date stamp \luatexdatestamp),
	using the command:
	\type{context basic-test.tex}}
	{mkii,
	using the command:
	\type{texexec basic-test.tex}},
ConTeXt version \contextversion.
\stoptext

The file typesets yielding a correct PDF but I get
	...-10.4/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/mtxrun:9016: attempt  
to index global 'today' (a function value)

Here is the output when saying mtxrun --selfupdate:
