Dear list members,
I am new to ConTeXt world. I have installed ConTeXt Standalone according to
the instructions given in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#ConTeXt_Standalone_with_TexWorks>
and
instructions given in Windows Installation
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Windows>. I added the
address of context.exe into the Processing Tools of TeXworks, according to
instruction # 6 in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#ConTeXt_Standalone_with_TexWorks>
and
compiled a simple ConTeXt document, it works fine. But I want to use
texexec (MkII), I had installed Ruby according to the instruction 1. I
added address of texexec.exe to the Processing Tools of TeXworks; but when
I try to compile the simple document, it does not work and gives the
following warning and stops without giving any output pdf file:

> warning: c:/Users/bsee1206/Desktop/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49:
> (kpathsea) No cnf value on line: OSFONTDIR =.
>
Any suggestions?

Any reason you want to use MKII instead of MKIV?

It looks lime you need to set the environment variable OSFONTDIR, which should point to the directory where your fonts are stored.

Thank you.
I want to use MkII because, as far as I know, MkII uses pdfTeX; which is
stable. While MkIV uses LuaTeX; which is yet in development. Further, pdfTeX
is better at microtypography.
Am I correct at these two points? I would like to hear from you.

I found that my system fonts are located at c:\windows\fonts, so I added
this address in front of OSFONTDIR in texmf.cnf file. But it still is not
working, although the previous warning message has now gone. ConTeXt now
silently stops the processing and does not give any output file.

Hi Asim,

Before typing |: |||set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts you have to go to 
|/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/ and type : ||set PATH=%PATH% (if your 
Windows system is |||32 bits |Windows, modify the command).
|

|Then : |||set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts||

||After that, in the same directory 
(|||||/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/)| type :||

|||||1) ||context --generate then 2) ||context --make|

|3) In order to reload all fonts installed in c:/windows/fonts, type the 
following command :|

|mtxrun --script fonts --reload|

|You may verify the installation of any font with the following command :|

mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=AnyFont* --all (you can play with * before and/or after the Font name))

|Hope that helps,|

|JP

Hi Asim,

I’m only an average user. But I guess LuaTeX is pretty stable (version 1
was released recently).

I have no complain about LuaTeX microtypography. I mean, I use both font
expansion and character protrusion, and they work fine for me.

But I’m not a LaTeX user. If you took the data from
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/microtype/microtype.pdf#page=7,
please don’t forget that the LuaTeX version included in that table is old.

Maybe you find interesting this thread about microtypography in ConTeXt:
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084990.html.

I’d rather use MkIV. But if you want to stick to MkII, consider the
following variants:

    OSFONTDIR = $SystemRoot/Fonts
    OSFONTDIR = c:/Windows/Fonts

I cannot remember, but I think using "\" is problematic with TeX (even
for path names).

Just in case it might help,


Pablo

In what respect better? The mechanism in Luatex is mostly the same as in 
pdftex but has been improved a bit (cleaner pdf code, more efficient 
font usage i.e. no duplicate fonts, etc.) and the mkiv support is 
probably a bit better than mkii too.

Thank you, Pablo, for the information about the Microtype package. And
after a bit more searching (and getting an answer from Hans Hagen :-) ), I
am considering MkIV, instead of MkII, now. But I have another question: How
can I identify the files that are only required for MkII, and not needed
for MkIV? Would it be safe to delete them? Actually I want to reduce the
size of ConTeXt as much as possible.

Hi Asim,

just for your information: the most bytes in the ConTeXt Suite come from
fonts.

In order to have a MkIV-only ConTeXt Suite, please add "--engine=luatex"
to your script invocaton. (This is explained in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Single_user_installation.)

I don’t think it is safe to remove files individually. I think it is way
safer to download the ConTeXt Suite again.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

keep in m in that --engine is cummulative as the installer remembers 
what components needs to be updated so you need to do a fresh install 
for --engine=luatex

* texexec in ConTeXt Standalone does not work

Dear list members,
I am new to ConTeXt world. I have installed ConTeXt Standalone according to
the instructions given in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#ConTeXt_Standalone_with_TexWorks>
and
instructions given in Windows Installation
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Windows>. I added the
address of context.exe into the Processing Tools of TeXworks, according to
instruction # 6 in ConTeXt Standalone with TexWorks
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#ConTeXt_Standalone_with_TexWorks>
and
compiled a simple ConTeXt document, it works fine. But I want to use
texexec (MkII), I had installed Ruby according to the instruction 1. I
added address of texexec.exe to the Processing Tools of TeXworks; but when
I try to compile the simple document, it does not work and gives the
following warning and stops without giving any output pdf file:

> warning: c:/Users/bsee1206/Desktop/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49:
> (kpathsea) No cnf value on line: OSFONTDIR =.
>
Any suggestions?
