latest beta (2008-01-09 19:58)

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi Hans,

there seems to be a problem with the latest beta; compilation stops  
with several of these warnings:

error >> define font: font with name lmromanslant12-regular is not found
error >> define font: name: lmromanslant12-regular, loading aborted
! Font \*12ptrmslrm*=file:lmromanslant12-regular*default not loadable:

(and the document in question doesn't even use Latin Modern...)

Hans has updated files without a "please don't update yet" warning
(that's what beta in ConTeXt means, after all :).
A new version of LM is in front of the door, and ConTeXt tries to be
kept up-to-date, or better, ahead-of-time.

Drats, I always thought it meant "download immediately!"

Ok, will have to revert to stable then...

Thanks

Such specific backward incompatible (engine-version or
font-version-specefic) updates are always problematic.

New otf LM fonts indeed have incompatible names and features.

aha, i need a bidirectional fallback ... making a new beta now

since i have both names on my system it's tricky to test (don't want to 
mess up things too much)

hey, since you were in this lm-update-close-loop, you should have been 
ahead of thomas ... okm new beta for you to test

\definedfont[lmroman9-oblique at 50pt] should work

\definedfont[lmromanslant12-regular] should work


btw, i also added a check on 'size of font file changed' so that one 
does not need to erase the fton in the cache when a font is updated

you can also test this (there is a file 'context' somewhere as stub)

mtxrun --script context blabla.tex

i.e. this is the upcoming replacement of texexec in case of luatex/mkiv

Yes, it works if I call it with

mtxrun --script context --run blabla.tex

(so the default needs to be set explicitly). How many languages did  
you learn and use during the last years? I'm waiting for lispTeX,  
pythonTeX, schemeTeX etc. :-)

it depends ... i sometimes have to do things in asp but there will be no 
asptex -)

we will probably stick with lua (and rewrite the ruby script etc) ... 
easier to package and distribute and less bloated than other languages
