Dear ConTeXt-ers,
I'm trying to remember why we are shipping dvipdfmx in ConTeXt: was it
because of Aleph or because of Eastern scripts? I'm not sure if it is
still used or not. I know that it is pretty important in eastern
scripts and as a basis for xdvipdfmx, but I don't know to what extent
ConTeXt supports it and to what extent ConTeXt users are using it if
at all.
I would only like to know the situation. If people use it, it is no
problem to keep it, but I would at least like to have a rough idea of
its usefulness and usage in ConTeXt. (The dvips program will probably
also be removed; I suspect that it doesn't work at the moment anyway.)
Mojca

No, many confuse those, but XeTeX is using xdvipdfmx which is largely
based on dvipdfmx, but it is not the same binary.
(But since Jonathan is not developing it any more, it would probably
make a lot of sense if the developer of dvipdfmx would take over also
the development of xdvipdfmx ... or even merge the two. dvipdfm has
already been removed from TL and replaced by dvipdfmx.)

I have found
http://project.ktug.or.kr/dvipdfmx/#sec-examples
ConTeXt examples of usage of dvipdfmx.
What I'm not sure about is if minimals provide enough files to
properly support dvipdfmx at all.

Dear Mojca,

Aleph is no more supported as a ConTeXt engine
because it is not etex-2.* compatible.
Therefore you can remove dvipdfmx from the minimals.
Thanks,
Akira

Dear Mojca,
> Therefore you can remove dvipdfmx from the minimals.
I'm personally using dvipdfmx in ConTeXt on an engines
eptex (experimental), and dvi mode of pdftex.
But I believe it is not needed in the 'minimals'.
Thanks,
Akira
