Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange <adeimantos@free.fr>]

And don't forget to do this before coding :
1) cd /home/[...]/context/tex/. setuptex
This command answers this : "Setting "/home/JohnDoe/context/tex" as ConTeXt root."
2) Then : cd .../context/tex/texmf-win64 (or linux64) with a x64 computer
3) Then type : 
context --generate 
and type : context --make

4) Finally, if you add fonts (in /usr/share/fonts, or $HOME/.fonts), don't forget to reload the font database (in the same depositery as 3)); the command is as follow :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
In order to see which fonts are installed on your system:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
To search a font (like didot) :
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*didot* --all

All these commands are the same on windows/linux/OS X

Hope that ich sende nicht Eulen nach Athens !

Objet: Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

Whew, I've got it running, finally.

For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its 
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in 
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:

name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
     --tree=/usr/local/context/tex        <-- this is the one!
     --autogenerate
     --script
     context
     $fullname

In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have

     /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
     /usr/local/context/bin

as the top two entries.

I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to 
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.

Thanks for listening -- Thomas
