I typed ctxtools --update then texexec --xtx --make en and even recreated format files from TeXLive GUI. After all, I get (c:/TeXLive2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) ! Font \*myface12ptrmtfrm*:='"mapping=tex-text at 12.0pt"' not loadable: installed font not found. The test file is \enableregime[utf] \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Times New Roman] \setupbodyfont[myface, 12pt] \starttext Hello! \stoptext I can reinstall the TeXLive completely, but I need to know what is wrong to update it succesfully next time.

The reason is that Hans is currently reworking bits and pieces of ConTeXt in order to prepare for the transition to luaTeX ... and font handling is apparently one of the things undergoing a massive overhaul these days. Unfortunately this appears to have broken compatibility with XeTeX. At the Epen conference Hans told me that he's going to finalize ConTeXt's font interface code for luaTeX first and then eventually backport everything to XeTeX. So for the time being your best bet might be to stick with the January version of ConTeXt included in TeXLive 2007. It's fairly stable and can be used for production purposes although it obviously won't benefit from the latest bug fixes to parts other than fonts. Alternatively, you might as well want to wait for the inaugural release of luaTeX.

(ImageMagik makes no > difference.) This sounds like the command execution extension is turned off. Whether or not ConTeXt is allowed to run other programs from within (Xe)TeX is controlled by a variable in texmf.cnf called shell_escape. That variable is likely set to f (false) after initial installation, but should be easy to fix if you can find the texmf.cnf on your disk, and set the variable to t (true) instead.

You encouraged me to do some more tests and finally I discovered something useful. The cow.pdf from context examples runs smoothly. My .pdf was saved in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro and this turns out the main cause. Saving with older versions compatibility and adjusting other settings don't help also. Anything created in this Acrobat fails in XeTeX. And good news: pdf created in Inkscape seems to be valid input for XeTeX! -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky > Well, first try inserting the sample PDF file "cow.pdf" supplied with > ConTeXt via > \placefigure{Test}{\externalfigure[cow]} > Contrary to including the familiar text snippets (like tufte, ward > etc.) you can't use cow.pdf directly from its original place in the > ConTeXt tree but you'll need to copy it into your working directory. > (You may have to download cont-img.zip from www.pragma-ade.com first > in order to find the sample images at all). > With ImageMagick installed (and write18 activated) XeTeX should now > generate an auxiliary file cow.pdf.rli when processing your TeX > source and include the figure flawlessly. > Let me know if this works. > Oliver > P.S.
