bug in today's release

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Sorry it's me again who's breaking the bad news... Today's release  
seems to have a bug; newtexexec won't run. Here's the output I get:

newtexexec.rb beredsamkeit.tex

Any obvious fix?

Taco, Hans,

thanks a lot, works now!

Would this be a bad time to mention that the problem of "` and "' is  
not yet quite fixed? Now the closing "' is gobbled...

not gobbled, simply not placed

the best definition is still:

  \installcompoundcharacter "` {\startdelimitedtext[\v!quotation]}
  \installcompoundcharacter "' {\stopdelimitedtext}

so i reverted to that one.  One is supposed to used those " things as pairs, hence the group. Of course nothing prevents you from defining them as: 

\installcompoundcharacter "` {\symbol[\c!leftquotation]}
\installcompoundcharacter "' {\symbol[\c!rightquotation]}

Or:

\installcompoundcharacter "` {\languageparameter\c!leftquotation}
\installcompoundcharacter "' {\languageparameter\c!rightquotation}

(to make the implicit kerns in the font work)

sigh... this makes me feel really bad, but: no kerning, no output for  
"'. Or am I missing something? Here's my minimal example:

\enableregime[utf]

\mainlanguage[de]

\installcompoundcharacter "` {\languageparameter\c!leftquotation}
\installcompoundcharacter "' {\languageparameter\c!rightquotation}

\setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font]

\starttext

"`W"'

\quotation{W}

„W“

\quotedblbase W\quotedblleft

\stoptext

Thanks

Thomas

My bad, I should have tested it, but I don't have your font
installed on this machine. I'll check in the morning when I
am back at the office.

the kerning is kind of tricky since there is some grouping involved 

take some thinking because i don't want to break other stuff 

(what we actually need is a way to let tex ignore grouping i.e. to see 

{"}W{"} 

as 

"W" 

when applying font kerning

grep for "if verbose" change that into "if  getvariable('verbose')"

btw, i now use the alternative (written in ruby) kpse lib; if that works 
ok, i'll enable a speed improvement (faster database read)
