Hello Dalyoung,

I hopw you don't mind if I forward this to the mailing list, but I
won't be home for some days, and for some problems you mention here I
have no idea what could go wrong.

That notice is normal/usual for XeTeX.

In Latin Modern? Which ConTeXt version? Did you only install TeXLive
or also ConTeXt updater (with the latest version of ConTeXt)? Small
squares could be a consequence of the old Type1 fonts instead of
OpenType (in case you have an old version).

Hmmm ... you need to ask about that on the XeTeX mailing list. Mention
which fonts exactly are causing problems and where you got them.

Can you send exact typescripts you're using? Failure with uppercase
greek is usually a typescript problem (I have experienced it very
often).

See also recent messages on the XeTeX mailing list.

And see
    @@runoptions['xetex']   = ['--8bit','-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -E
-d 4 -V 5"']
in scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb

But if you change sdvipdfmx to xdv2pdf, you'll have problems with
Latin Modern (they're hardcoded in the ConTeXt format and file names
don't work with xdv2pdf, so you would need to change definitions in
type-oft.tex I guess).

I have no idea. But please post a complete example. You can also try
to upgrade to a newer version of XeTeX and xdvipdfmx (backup the old
version before doing so) from
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/, although
this won't solve your exact problems. Make sure that you're using the
latest stable version of ConTeXt (2007.09.28). The problems with \font
command need to be reported to the XeTeX mailig list (name the fonts
and where you got them from), for the ConTeXt-related problems, attach
a miniminal example together with your typescripts.

Dear Mojca,

Thank you for the reply. As you did, I send my problem to the list. I  
think that I am a problem maker.

I wonder why the output of XeTeX+ConTeXt was changed after the upgrade  
to Leopard.
I didn't change anything in TeX system. I just upgraded the OSX.
But nicely working XeTeX+ConTeXt had a problem with the korean  
commercial fonts.(no korean letters were  appeared.)

I installed TeXlive using i-installer(gwTeX) with Mac OSX Leopard,  
Latest stable ConTeXt, XeTeX 0.996

I made a short test file and a typescript file for the test.
I have tested in several ways.

1. In XeTeX, everything is OK.  Korean letters and greek capitals are  
appeared well. I thinkt that it used xdv2pdf.
	
This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)
  file:line:error style messages enabled.
entering extended mode
(./test-font.tex [1] )
(see the transcript file for additional information)
Mon Nov  5 16:56:15 graph.ssu.ac.kr xdv2pdf[21489] <Error>: WARNING:  
Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct  
format required by the Adobe Type 1Font Format specification.
...
Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page).
Transcript written on test-font.log.

after adding \starttext and \stoptext
2. In XeTeX+ConTeXt, no ouput because of the korean commercial font.

[1
** NOTICE: This document contains a `Preview & Print only' licensed  
font **
]
** ERROR ** CFF: Invalid character.

Output file removed.
Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page).
Transcript written on test-font.log.

3.In XeTeX+ConTeXt without the definition of the korean commercial font:

No error messeges, defined korean font and greek capitals are appeared  
well.
But korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) are  
appeared as blanks. English letters are OK.

4. I used typescript file "type-xkor2.tex"

No error message. English letters are OK.
But  korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) and the  
greek capitals are appeared as blanks.

I think that Leopard has a problem with xdvipdfmx. It is just my guess.

I attached test file and a typescript file. I used some commercial  
fonts but they are freely distributed as demo at the following site: "www.softmagaic.co.kr 
"  After connecting it, you can see "otf sm font" in the third  
rectangle at the right side of the frame. You can download 5 fonts. I  
used three of them in the typescript file and one of them in the test  
file.

Thank you again.
Best regards,

Dalyoung

As you can see xdv2pdf produced an output file (and most likely a  
correct one). The WARNING message appears on Tiger regularly when a  
PostScript font is used that needed to be converted to OTF first  
before embedding. I never found (could find?) a fault with this  
messages and fonts, although it makes me nervous and uncertain.


The error that you only see blank background instead of Korean text  
seems to happen in Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) with quite a few PDF  
viewers. And it's not restricted to Korean only. Obviously only Adobe  
Reader can display correctly. Some users mentioned that quite old  
software which was never adapted to Leopard seem to mess up "font  
caches." TeXniscope is one such application. For some users it seemed  
to help to clean these font caches and to log out and in, for some  
just logging off and in already helped – and not using again  
TeXniscope, Equation Service, or LaTeX Equation Editor.

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If  
it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.

I cannot test on Leopard, but I can comment about problems I
experience on Tiger:

1.) Capital Greek letters:

\starttypescript[myface]
 \definetypeface[Myface][rm][serif][testrm][default]

% you definitely need this line, really:
% note the word "modern" in the last bracket!!!
% (I had quite some problems at this point as well)
 \definetypeface [Myface][mm][math][modern][modern]
\stoptypescript

2.) You have typos in your typescript file:
     \starttypescript[serif][tesetrm][name]
should be "testrm", not "tesetrm"

3.) This only applies to the *latest stable version* (please upgrade
to 29.09.2007!) of ConTeXt: you should rewrite your typescript
definitions to:

\starttypescript[serif][testrm]
% Regular variant:
 \definefontsynonym[MyungjoRegular][file:smGothicR W35][features=default]
 \definefontsynonym[MyungjoLight][file:smHangSer Medium]
 \definefontsynonym[MyungjoBold][file:smJohabP Medium]
\stoptypescript

[features=default] at the end is kind-of-optional (I'm not sure about
which features should be applied to Korean fonts, that's why I'm not
sure if "features=default" is OK or not, but you should eiter apply it
to all font instances or to none of them).

3.a) the prefix "file:" is not needed. I have placed the font files in
the same folder where the tex file is. Actually, if you have your font
installed, you might need to use other names. If you're referring to a
font in file, you can provide a "file:" prefix and need to suppy file
name. If you're referring to an installed font, you need to provide
the font name (which might be different from file name - I didn't
check the font name of the fonts you provided), and you might provide
"name:" prefix (optional, but more efficient).

3.b) There seems to be a bug in ConTeXt (if you don't provide "file:"
prefix, ConTeXt puts spurious "FontName at 9pt" over all the place).
But I will report that problem to Hans separately.

> I think that Leopard has a problem with xdvipdfmx. It is just my guess.


Can you try to use the latest ConTeXt (install ConTeXt updater package
in gwTeX) and the attached typescript file? (Your file doesn't work on
Tiger without modifications either.)

Can you try to compile your plain XeTeX files with
    xetex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -E -d 4 -V 5" filename.tex
That way it will be easier to test if the problem lies in xdvipdfmx
than if you try to convince ConTeXt to use the xdv2pdf driver.
