Update to Pdfetex 1.20a

Update to Pdfetex 1.20a

[Lutz Haseloff]

Hi Hans, Hi all,

i tried to update pdfetex to 1.20a.
I used the standalone version by Fabrice Popineau from:
http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/ctan/systems/win32/fptex/standalone/

If pdfetex tries to insert a ttf-font i get an error-message:

Windows complains:

...
systems        : end file test at line 6
  )<c:\tex\texmf-local/fonts/truetype/chinese/htsong.ttf
            return code : 65280
               run time : 2 seconds

         total run time : 2 seconds

I run the latest stuff from pragma (binaries, context)
under Win XP. The fonts are from ctex.org.

My input file is:

\loadmapfile[gbk]
\usemodule[chinese]
\usemodule[chi-simplified]
\starttext
\section{test}
\stoptext


Is this a bug in pdfetex?


Greetings Lutz

welcome to the non downward compatible changes in tex and friends

   you may try: texmfstart textools --fixtexmftrees

to move your map and enc files to the new locations

if things still fail ... then we have a problem in pdftex's font inclusion

I'm afraid so:
where pdfetex 1.20a breaks completely and texexec.pl reports:
-------------
systems        : end file china at line 6
 )<c:\tex\texmf-local/fonts/truetype/chinese/htsong.ttf
           return code : 65280
              run time : 3 seconds

        total run time : 3 seconds
-------------
version 1.11 prepares nice chinese pdf and texexec.pl reports
