RE: dvipdfmx old-style bug

[Idris Samawi Hamid <ishamid@lamar.colostate.edu>]

workaround:

In cont-sys.tex, change

  \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map]
  \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map]

to

  \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map]
  \loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map]
  \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map]

Then old-style lm will always be loaded first.

[if you use other than texnansi make analogous changes]

A perhaps drastic workaround but it works for now  (reasonable default for the 
humanities anyway)...

Dear fellows knights of the TeX Table,

I think I have found the source of the problem:

There is a difference between the way aleph and the way pdfetex handle
resetting the map file list:

=========test-os==============
% output=dvipdfmx
% tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx

\loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map]
\usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [map]   [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont [modern]

\starttext

123456789

\stoptext
============================

If we just declare

% output=dvipdfmx

then the maps get reset as follows:

=========================
systems         : begin file test-os at line 8
fonts           : resetting map file list
fonts           : using map file: original-base
fonts           : using map file: ec-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: ec-base
fonts           : using map file: original-ams-base
fonts           : using map file: original-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-os-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-base
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-public-lm
==========================

texnansi-os-public-lm gets read _before_  texnansi-public-lm.

But if we declare

% tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx

then the maps get reset as follows:

==========================
fonts           : resetting map file list
fonts           : using map file: original-base
fonts           : using map file: ec-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: ec-base
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-base
fonts           : using map file: qx-base
fonts           : using map file: t5-base
fonts           : using map file: 8r-base
fonts           : using map file: original-ams-base
fonts           : using map file: original-ams-euler
fonts           : using map file: original-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: qx-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: t5-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: pl0-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: il2-public-lm
fonts           : using map file: texnansi-os-public-lm
==========================

Note that texnansi-os-public-lm is read last, and _afte_r texnansi-public-lm.

Is this why dvipdfmx does not work for

% tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx

?

NOTE: if we comment out

\loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map]

then upon declaring

%  output=dvipdfmx

pdfetex will read  texnansi-os-public-lm last. I think this is an overall bug
in the latest ConTeXt.

Thus it appears that

\loadmapfile[texnansi-os-public-lm.map]

works for pdfetex (in dvi mode) but not for aleph. Is this because the etex in
aleph is too old?

In the meantime, is there a workaround so that aleph will load
texnansi-os-public-lm.map first?
