installationproblem with context-distribution: xetex not working

[Henning Haeske]

Hello,

I started this night the installation-instruction from: 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation

and then i continued with: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX

texexec --pdf first.tex is working fine, but the xetex is not working:

fonts           : using map file: t5-public-lm
[1.1]
systems         : end file first at line 10
 )
(see the transcript file for additional information)

Output file removed.

I also tried fixing this with this note: 
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070130.082837.4bc51f61.en.html

But I am still getting the same error messages....

My context-directories are having following structure: 

../tex/texmf/...
../tex/texmf-local/..
../tex/texmf-fonts/..
../tex/texmf-extra/..
../tex/texmf-linux/..

Is this structure ok? Looks a little bit different than it was with latex.
I would be glad for any help to finilize my first step from latex to context.

thanks in advance, H.

texfont aborts with charisSIL

[Henning Haeske]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1836 bytes --]

Hi,

after my first installation was successful I am trying to install the latest 
IPA-font from SIL (Charis - 
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=IPAhome#Charis ).

I followed the instruction from the wiki:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_a_TrueType_font,_step_by_step

I downloaded the charis-font I decompressed the package and got following 
files:
~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ ls
CharisSIL4.100FontDocumentation.pdf  CharisSILB.ttf  FONTLOG.txt  README.txt
CharisSIL4.100.zip                   CharisSILI.ttf  OFL-FAQ.txt
CharisSILBI.ttf                      CharisSILR.ttf  OFL.txt

Then I entered the sucgested texfont-command:

~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ texfont --ve=sil --co=charis --makepath --install *.ttf
/tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texmfstart:2073: warning: Insecure world writable 
dir /tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin, mode 040777

TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004

           vendor name : sil
           source path : .
       font collection : charis

         map file name : texnansi-sil-charis.map
           source path : .
      processing files : all in pattern CharisSILBI.ttf

         copying files : afm
         copying files : pfb
         copying files : otf
    processing aborted : no afm files found

                --help : show some more info

After this aborted texfont-command I have to run the mktexlsr-comand to 
rebuild the font-structure - even to get the normal results without using the 
new font. An example-file is attached to this email - without IPA-signs.

Did I missed a step or is texfont obsolete?

Thanks, H.

Re: installationproblem with context-distribution: xetex not working

Thanks,

it is working after I copied the relevant files from my texmf-fonts/.... into 
the texmf-local/.... folder.

The disjunction into the different texmf-... folders:

texmf/....
texmf-local/...
texmf-font/....
texmf-extra/...
texmf-linux/....

is a little bit confusing to me. Is this seperation necessary or can I just 
merge them?

Ciao, H.

you can merge them but best update in texmf-local

i must look into texmf-extra since by now the content maybe free enough 
for texmf

hm, so mktexlsr was aborted cq. ls-r was messed up for some reason? strange

no, but soon you won't need it anymore (xetex supports open type directly as does luatex)

Hi Hans,

thanks for the reply.

> hm, so mktexlsr was aborted cq. ls-r was messed up for some reason? strange

...can you explain this «cq» and «ls-r» for a context-newbie like me?

Ok... unfortunately I need this font. Can you/anyone tell me, how to add this 
font in the actual context, so that it can be used together with xetex?

Thanks, H.

mktexlsr : generates a file database

this database is actually the output of the unix command "ls -R" and 
therefore a list of files and directories

each texmf tree has such an ls-R (or ls-r) file

there are users on the list who use gentium (never installed it myself)
