rebuild font cache

rebuild font cache

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

after installing a new beta this morning, I'm afraid that ConTeXt isn't
able to find the installed fonts on my system (path is added to setuptex).

It isn't the first time I experience this. I solved this in the past
rebuilding the font cache.

But now it doesn't work.

mtxrun --script fonts --reload

fonts           | names | warnings are disabled (tracker
'fonts.warnings').../ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:723:
attempt to index field 'treatments' (a nil value)

How can I force the font cache to be rebuild?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

After reinstalling ConTeXt Standalone, system installed fonts don't work
either.

If I try to rebuild the font cache, here is what I get:

    $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload
    cannot open : No such file or directory

This happens after changing in tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua:

    TEXMFCACHE      = "/var/cache/ctxbeta/texmf-cache",

And if I try to compile a document with luajittext I get the following
error:

    mtx-context   | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting

In the meantime, I have a single user installation that does the job, Is
there no way to fix my system-wide installation?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Try running

  mtxrun --generate

and then repeat the above steps.

One needs write permission in TEXMFCACHE.

Many thanks for your reply, Aditya.

If I rebuild the font cache as root, I get:

    # mtxrun --script fonts --reload

    fonts           | names | warnings are disabled (tracker
    'fonts.warnings').../ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context
    /base/font-syn.lua:723: attempt to index field 'treatments' (a nil
    value)

If I rebuild the font cache as user, I get:

    $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload

    fonts           | names | unable to access database cache
    fonts           | names | accessing the data table failed

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I suspected that too, but I didn't find luatex-cache at /home.

Fonts are found fine now, but I cannot rebuild the font cache (as I
replied to Aditya).

Many thanks for your help,
