You should put 'texexec.ini' in a "local" tree, e.g., texmf-local, so it
is easy to find when you upgrade, e.g., "texmf-local/context/config"

Did you run mktexlsr?  What do you get from: 'kpsewhich -progname=context
-format="other text files" texexec.ini'?

Of course should be '...TeX/texmf/context/config' and
'...TeX/texmf/context/perltk' respectively. Sorry for that.

I'm  using the same TeX installation for both windows and linux (common
texmf tree and binaries based on TeXLive7 distribution). The main adventage
is that I come across each problem only ones :-)

Ok, sorry for that stupid mistake. After updating base, 'texexec.ini' is
taken into account insead of 'texexec.rme'.

But I still can't get an idea of copying '.rme' to '.ini' since '.rme' file
can be read as well. Is that an easy way to save orginal config file
untouched?

The reason I'm so persistant to solve that (probably not crucial) problem is
that I'm still spying another problem -- generating format with proper
default font information (as described in details in other threads). I
thought that texexec config file(s) may be important at that point. But
after copying 'texexec.rme' to 'texexec,ini', changing some defaults, like

     set  FmtLanguage to  pl
     set  FmtBodyFont to  plr

and updating ls-R, the problem still appear, means that format generated
with proper command

    texexec --make --language=pl,en --bodyfont=plr en

doesn't use the proper default font.... So I'm afraid it's not the solution.


Thanks anyway, Pawe/l

Hi all!

TEXEXEC documentation and self documented 'texexec.rme' file says that it
should be copied to 'texexec.ini'. First of all; I have two 'texexec.rme' in
TeX tree; first in

    ...TeX/context/config

the second in

    ...TeX/context/perltk

Files looks to be identical but and the second location has a priority. But
which location is more convenient for texexec config file?

The second question is WHY I have to copy 'texexec.rme' to 'texexec.ini'? If
I do so and change some settings in 'texexec.ini' and than run
'texexec --verbose', I can see that settings are still taken from
'texexec.rme'. Could You tell me what is the point in copying RME to INI and
when INI file is used instead RME?



Thanks, Pawe/l
