Re: How to get default Dutch language Context in TeXShop on Macos X

[Thomas A.Schmitz <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

You will probably have to use the Terminal, but it's a less horrible 
place than you think. Gerben's TeX-installation expects to find .fmt 
files in this location:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-nl.fmt So what you do is:

cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c

sudo texexec --make nl

give your password, texexec will automagically run texhash for you. 
That should be all.

If you want to see if it works, look at the output of

texexec --version

which is, on my box:

  TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

                texexec : TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004
                texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                    tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)
                context : ver: 2004.12.06
                cont-en : ver: 2004.12.06  fmt: 2004.12.8  mes: english
                cont-de : ver: 2004.12.06  fmt: 2004.12.8  mes: german
                cont-nl : ver: 2004.12.06  fmt: 2004.12.8  mes: dutch
