I just had to reinstall my TeX installation (upgrade to OS X 10.4).
After mucking around with my old TeX, I decided to reinstall, and I
hit a problem: even though I ran updmap, ConTeXt doesn't seem to work
with the fonts I installed myself unless I include the \loadmapfile
[foo] either in the typescript or in the source file. This wasn't the
case before. I also tried moving the mapfiles to texmf/fonts/map/
pdftex/context insteadt of just fonts/map/, but that didn't change
anything. Am I missing something obvious, or is this the expected
behavior? I much prefer to have system-wide mapfiles since I use
LaTeX from time to time and want the same fonts available there. They
work with plain pdfetex as well, it's just ConTeXt that gives
trouble. So my question is: is this the new setup, are we supposed to
load mapfiles this way, and what is the advantage over the old method?
Thanks!
Thomas

the file cont-sys.tex is read in at runtime, so there is no need to regenerate
the format; when testing, watch the messages in the log with regards to map files

Er, (something I still forget time to time), you definitely need to re-
hash the TeX trees after installing the new cont-sys.tex, though.

Hans, Adam,
thanks for your replies! I just tried with Adam's version and my old
version of cont-sys.tex, but it made no difference - do I have to
rebuild the formats every time I change this file? I'll do more
experiments this weekend, but will be away from my computer from
tomorrow till Friday. Thanks for your help, I'll report back!
Best
Thomas

my guess is that you lost your local cont-sys.tex and that cont-sys.rme is used
now; in there you will find
\resetmapfiles
so, in your case, you need a special version of cont-sys.tex (preferable in
context/user so that it is not lost when you wipe out context/base)
btw, in some future release i will drop context map files and stick to inline
map entries,
Hans

Sorry for reposting, but I'm really curious about this issue!
I just had to reinstall my TeX installation (upgrade to OS X 10.4).
After mucking around with my old TeX, I decided to reinstall, and I
hit a problem: even though I ran updmap, ConTeXt doesn't seem to work
with the fonts I installed myself unless I include the \loadmapfile
[foo] either in the typescript or in the source file. This wasn't the
case before. I also tried moving the mapfiles to texmf/fonts/map/
pdftex/context insteadt of just fonts/map/, but that didn't change
anything. Am I missing something obvious, or is this the expected
behavior? I much prefer to have system-wide mapfiles since I use
LaTeX from time to time and want the same fonts available there. They
work with plain pdfetex as well, it's just ConTeXt that gives
trouble. So my question is: is this the new setup, are we supposed to
load mapfiles this way, and what is the advantage over the old method?
Thanks!
Thomas
