always the same :-(

[Hraban]

Hello Hans!

I thought my problems would caused through my perhaps odd TeX installation
on my PPC Linux System, but...

I just installed a new teTeX, newest stable pdfTeX (14g) and newest
ConTeXt beta on a i386-Linux machine.

texexec --make runs only with --alone,
and my book stays at the "old" error:
! Undefined control sequence.
<write> ...{}{formal}{}{\realfolio }{\@@cvset 348
                                                  }

No ideas?

If I can't get this to run this week, I must take alle the text
and set the book with QuarkXPress (and I don't want to!) :-(

This is very strange, since here I have, in the tuo file, 

\mainreference{}{formal}{}{33}{$\star $}

So, what is the \@@cvset doing there

\defineconversion
  [set 3]
  [\mathematics{\star}, .... 

[i may consider not expanding it, btw, but this is unrelated]

All this points to a problem with a footnote symbol around [formal] and you
have set up footnotes as:

\setupfootnotes [conversion=set 3, way=bypage, rule=off]
                                                  }
>No ideas?

comment the footnote line and see if the problem occurs elsewhere

>If I can't get this to run this week, I must take alle the text

can you send me the *complete* book? 

>and set the book with QuarkXPress (and I don't want to!) :-(

Well, i can run it here if needed.

Actually it's [set 3][...] element 48 which is kind of strange, although
... if there are 48 footnotes without any numbering way ... 
maybe \setupfootnotes[way=bypage] helps.

It might help to realize that the actual control sequence here is
"\@@cvset 348"?
It is unlikely that the conversion "set 348" is actually defined.

I've way=bypage already. And there are never more than 3 footnotes on a page.
I'll try Berend's hint about ini -> tex.

Further:
I tried to set a \relax after every \input chapter, and it helped a bit:
*Sometimes* it runs through, but that seems to be font related.
I'm trying around with Adobe and URW Palatino (Ghostscript and TeTeX versions)
but know to less... The best I got had "only" ß ("s) set to Ÿ ("Y).
Just now I'm downloading "new" tfms from CTAN -- some were missing in my distrib.

Yeah! Thank you!
Now it's possible to --make the formats without --alone

Ok, that has solved some font problems.

The @cvset 348 error disappears if I comment out the footnote setting.
But I do want to get asterisks and daggers as footnote symbols.
I'll try to define my own set.

Remaining/new problems:
- Suddenly I've to say \useencoding[fde] to resolve "a etc.
- "s = \sz works only, if I add the definition in the "experimental"
part of enc-fde (did you forget that, Hans, or is anything other wrong?).
- Ugly page breaks (widows & orphants); I'll try different tolerance settings.
- The two pages of my "part title" are not counted in page numbering (I
forgot to ask after this yet).
- some more details, that I hope to get fixed myself

that's ok, since it's impossible to turn them off, one now has explicitly
to turn it on.

that will be solved as soon as tobias cum suis have there definitive
decissions made.

settings.

that's why they are there [in etex you can provide arrays of them]

\setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] % instead of bypart

page numbering at parts

I had bytext since ever.
You remember the nice part pages with background picture
and subtitle? This two pages (part & empty back) are
not counted, the page numbering "jumps over them". 
(They mustn't show a pagina.)

I just sent a preview of the book to the editors,
but I've to fix much more...

That's a side effect of makeup. You may try: 

% go to a right page 

\page[right] 

% content 

\noheaderandfooterlines

your graphic 

% goto the next right page 

\page[right]

Try fmtutil --edit

and change the line with cont-en.ini to cont-en.tex. It seems
cont-en.ini is only in the tetex distribution, not in Hans release, so
if you replace dirs with a newer context this can cause problems.
