This is related to the 200-mails long thread and fixes that you did on behalf of Oliver (mostly about searching for texmf.cnf) (Maybe it's just on purpuse and you want to say - if you want to use mkiv, update ConTeXt first, else it's useless anyway :) Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Once texlive 2008 is out for a while, we can think about updating the context and luatex in it (together).

What do you mean "(mostly) working xetex"? It's just been updated to 0.999.6.

It might/might no have some problem when running context.

At least it works somehow :) Not quite. There is no such thing as a plain luatex font selection. This worked because context can handle simple plain tex files, but you are really running context, not plain.
