Two questions > are asked, press Enter twice to install the dutch interface to ConText > or enter `english' twice to install the english language interface or > `german' to install the german language interface. Actually there are four files (1) context.tex, (2) cont-nl, (3) cont-de and (4) cont-en. The fastest way to go is to use 2, 3 and 4. These run without asking questions. The advantage is that one can say %&cont-en on top of his document to load the relevant format automatically. > ----------output---------------- > 9042 words of font info for 28 preloaded fonts > 15 hyphenation exceptions > Hyphenation trie of length 20024 has 577 ops out of 1501 > 70 for language 9 > 139 for language 3 > 181 for language 2 > 187 for language 1 > Output written on context.dvi (1 page, 280 bytes). > Transcript written on context.log. > /usr/local/texmf/tex/context# ls context.fmt > context.fmt > -------end output--------------- Now, here went something wrong! There is one page produced. First, no fonts should be preloaded at all, which makes context more tfm independant. Where does this page come from? All context source files should end with \endinput (to prevent problems with eof characters) and and should also give no problems. This problem is unix oriented, and can be overcome by unzipping with a certain (i forgot one) switch concerning lineendings or so. Tobias, can you try to trace the file that causes the troubless? Just move up the \dump command in context.tex until the problem (page 1) disappears. > Dit is CONTEXT versie <1998.5.21 > interface meldingen > > .. > > Copyright 1990-1998 / PRAGMA / J. Hagen - A.F. Otten > > korps : 12pt romaan wordt geladen > specials : postscript,yandy,dviwindo,pdf geladen For unix users: say \usespecials[reset,ps,tr,pdf] in the file cont-sys.tex That way, the right special will be loaded at runtime. Concerning the memory, here are the values I use: pool_size = 500000 string_vacancies = 25000 max_strings = 50000 pool_free = 475000 % watch out Berend, you lost a 0 trie_size = 64000 hyph_size = 1000 buf_size = 5000 nest_size = 750 max_in_open = 15 param_size = 1500 save_size = 8000 stack_size = 1500 Now concerning web2c, here I use the pdftex alternative. This one is 100% dvi compatible, but also offers pdf output. Just say \usespecials[tpd] at the begin of the file, and get yourself pdf! One binary and one format thereby serve both output formats!
