Hi all,
I just discovered that the windows pcs in the library have
certain adobe stuff installed that comes with a neat collection
of adobe fonts. So I thought I’d want to use them in context and
prepared a minimals for windows on a usb stick using wine. I
haven’t used windows in ages so I’d like to ask some questions
before I actually start testing.
1. Why is there an mtxrun.exe binary in addition to the lua
script?
2. How large will texmf-cache grow when all the fonts from an
indesign installation are indexed (it’s a small stick and
context resides next to a linux on it)?
3. Anything I should be aware of where windows context behaves
differently from linux?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
Philipp

because texlua has to be run

indexing is not that much an issue as only partial data is stored
usage will create tma/tmc files (reminds me that I need to add a
configuration option to clear the tma files as they are only there for
tracing purposes)

in a next beta you can configure it using directives:
system_compile_cleanup = "no", -- remove tma files
system_compile_strip = "yes", -- strip tmc files
this replaces the PURGE and STRIP variables
(not tested yet)
