I want to use context as a backend-typesetting engine in a server-ennvironment. In order to minimize compilation time I want to make the format files as small as possible. E.g. I would like to remove all pattern files which are unnecessary for the purpose of the application. How do I achieve this? Cheers Willi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

That is as simple as commenting (some of) the \installlanguage calls in the cont-XX.tex file you want to use (and don't use the --all switch of texexec!). Removing some of the other files can be a bit harder and require editing core include files: * font encodings are loaded in enco-ini.tex \useencoding[ans,il2,ec,tbo,pdf,uc,pol,qx,t5,cyr] * regimes are loaded in regi-ini: \useregime[def,uni,lat,win,il1,mac] * unicode tables are loaded in unic-ini: \useunicodevector[0,1,2,3,4,5,30,32,33,34,39] It would be easier if these could be moved to the cont-XX.tex (or perhaps context.tex) file in a future release. Also, you can gain some speed by * dropping the memory array settings in texmf.cnf to as low as you can get away with, based on your typical input files; * and by pruning your texmf tree(s) of as many files as possible (every file and directory in the tree slows down kpathsea initialization just a little bit, and it can add up to a noticeable delay). * disabling kpathsea disk searches Cheers, Taco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I believe, that herewith I can gain one or the other second!
