Decided to copy the truetype fonts from [1] to [2] ( keeps both
installations apart )
then ran from within scite

When running from a terminal window

Setting "/opt/context/tex" as TEXROOT.
alan@alan-desktop:~$ context --generate

I get the same messages.

Then tried from root ( sudo -i ) which gives

-bash: context: command not found


Is it serious doctor Lua ?
