MPtoPDF problem

Hallo.

Few days ago I migrated to Ubuntu 10.10 (Linux) and last stable ConTeXt
minimals (2010.07.30 11:35 MKII) (from very old ConTeXt version). Now I
found I can't run mptopdf:

Command
  mptopdf chart.1
just prints chart.1 and an empty line

Command
  mtxrun --script mptopdf chart.1
fails with these complaints:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
 \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
[MP to PDF]
(./charts08.1{/home/qasar/programy/context_stable/tex/texmf/fonts/m
ap/pdftex/plain/pdftex.map}) [1]
!pdfTeX error: pdftex (file lmmi9): Font lmmi9 at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file

And command

  mtxrun --script mptopdf chart.mp

starts to compile something, than reports that it cannot write the log file
and asks for another file name, and eventually fails with the same
complaints as above.

Can you possibly tell me what to do? Many thanks.

Best wishes,
Michal Kvasnicka

Not sure what goes wrong here.

This probably means that you do not have the latin modern fonts
installed. Check to make sure that you have all the texlive packages
in ubuntu installed, the dependencies are not always perfect.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hm, strange. Can you print $command ?

       { if ($miktex)
           { if ($dosish)
               { $command = "pdfetex   &mptopdf" }
             else
               { $command = "pdfetex \\&mptopdf" } }
         else
           { if ($dosish)
               { $command = "pdfetex -progname=context &mptopdf" }
             else
               { $command = "pdfetex -progname=context \\&mptopdf" } }

maybe changing the &mptopdf into "-fmt=mptopdf" works better?

(we needed the & because of changes in the (e)fmt switch last year in pdftex, 
maybe we can drop that now, assuming that everyoen has a recent version)

mptopdf problem

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hello,

I have a miktex installed on xp. Not too long ago I made a update. 
Yesterday I noticed that mptopdf won't do its job anymore. As I made a 
copy before upgrading so I could check the behaviour with the old version.

The "old" version (which runs) is mptopdf 1.21
The "new" version is 1.3

The errormessage is:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded 
format=mptopdf 2005.7.5)  6 JUL 2005 08:53
entering extended mode
**fuenf.mp
(fuenf.mp [MP to PDF]
! I can't find file `beginfig(1).tex'.
<to be read again>

When I replace the new file by the old one everything works again.

Any suggestions?

Wolfgang
