[NTG-context] error with \sc

[NTG-context] error with \sc

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

With ConTeXt version 2024.04.01, the \sc command produces an error:

fonts           > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage)
fonts           > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded
pages           > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1
close source    > level 1, order 3, name './test.tex'
backend         > xmp > using file '/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml'
mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1

Test file:
  \starttext
  \sc test
  \stoptext

Is this a bug, or some misconfiguration of my installation?

TIA for any hints,
-- 
           Peter

Hans wrote in his email:

change in lua bytecode storage (no easy way to catch it).

Did you do that? (One way is to remove tex/texmf-cache/*)

Your file works here.

Another way is to run (since your test works fine on my laptop):

  mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate

The format file will be generated in the next compilation, so it will
take a bit longer.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

Thanks. It did not work after doing it as root, but then I saw, that
there is also a cache in the user home-directory, so I’ve done it as the
user too, and now it works.

You shouldn't run context as root in any case. But glad it worked.

I don’t run context as root. But I need to erase the cache in
/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache as root, because the user doesn’t have the
permission to do that.

Sorry, Peter, but I have a suspicion from what you wrote.

In principle, cache is only written to tex/texmf-cache.

But I guess, when that directory cannot be written by the user, cache is
written to $HOME/texmf.

This may be why you get two cache directories (instead of only
tex/texmf-cache).

Cheers,

Pablo
