Is this still the best way? I've got myself in a terrible mess now! I downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped the contents, then tried to follow Hans' instructions, i.e.: > mktexlsr > luatools --generate > luatools --selfupdate > mtxrun --selfupdate > texexec --make (for mkii) > context --make (for mkiv) Unfortunately, none of these commands runs without errors! SO, I decided to reinstall from scratch. That's where my problems really started! I searched around the Wiki and found lots of pages on installation, but none of them seem quite right. I looked at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf but it looks old and does not seem to relate to the stuff I've downloaded. >>From various places, I think I need to do the following, but some details are missing: 1. Install Ruby 2. Install Perl 3. Download cont-tmf.zip and unzip contents to 4. Set environment variables: OSFONTDIR =3D C:\WINDOWS\Fonts TEXMF =3D \scripts\context\stubs\mswin TEXMFCACHE =3D C:\TEMP TEXMFCNF =3D \web2c TEXMFOS =3D ?????? others ???? 5. From command window, run installation scripts: mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make (for mkii) context --make (for mkiv) 6. To generate new pdf run: context --pdf myfile.tex 7. Anything else I've missed ???? Thanks to all, Richard Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd.
