Conflict ConTeXt & new LM?

Conflict ConTeXt & new LM?

[Gerben Wierda]

I just installed the latest LM fonts from TL Master on top of a teTeX 
3.0 + recent ConTeXt and tried to re-run my project. This fails. I 
reinstalled the old LM and it works, Is this known?

ah .. that's because you're a developer; latin modern now ships with ec-lm* 
instead of cork-lm* (as does antikwa); my local context already made the (very 
welcome) change

(there will also be il and pl metric files, so it will take some time before 
latin modern settles; rough schedule is bachotek)

So, the conclusion is that I canot use/redistribute the new LM? And
another conclusion is that stuff like LaTeX lmodern.sty and ConTeXt need
to be updated in sync with the new lmodern?

you can because my guess is that not so many people use them yet

also, the lm fonts now come with open type variants, which is good for the mac 
(since xetex needs them and user should test that); keep in mind that the mac 
users normally are the most advanced/demanding font users, so in a way gwtex is 
providing a testbed

i'll upload a new beta so that you can ship in sync; i'll also try to keep my 
cont-lmt.zip up to date with the latest lm updates (the originals don't come in 
a texmf structure)

another font we need to keep an eye on is the antikwa torunska; both lm and at 
are very complete fonts and for instance include vietnamese glyphs as well

because context users play a lot with fonts, errors show up early, which is good 
(the only way to debug new fonts like lm is to use them -)

another issue with lm is that when remapping cmr to lm one needs different map 
files for dvips (internal lm names) and pdftex (original cm names); else pdf 
inclusion of old files becomes unefficient (i found out a few days before 
eurotex -); i'm discussing these issues with the lm team

i'll upload a new beta in a few minutes
