Installation of modules
=======================
Basics
––––––
The installation of extra files in TeX (called modules in ConTeXt) can
be hard
for people how are new in TeX or aren't interested in TeX programming
themselve.
According to the TDS (TeX directory structure) and the ConTeXt
developers user
written files reside under the path
$TEXMF/tex/context/third/<modulename>/<files>
in the private TeX directory ($TEXMF), private directories can have
the names
• texmf-local
• texmf-extra
• texmf-project
but there existence depend on the TeX distribution and texmf-local is
the most
common one.
Installation by hand
––––––––––––––––––––
When you want to install a new module which is available as file only
create
the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file
there, for
modules which are available as zip files with precreated
subdorectories you
can unzip the archive in the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/)
and all
files are on the correct place.
After the files are placed at the right place you have to update TeX's
database
to let it know where it can find the files, this is done for MkII with
mktexlsr (command name depends on the TeX distribution)
and for MkIV with
context --generate
ConTeXt minimals
––––––––––––––––
Users of the ConTeXt minimals dont't have to download the module files
and unzip
them in the local directory because they can use the 'first-setup' for
this.
To install for example the simpleslides modules you write
first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides"
To install more modules at the same time write
first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides,t-french"
The complete list of availables modules in minimals is:
• f-urwgaramond
• f-urwgothic
• t-account
• t-algorithmic
• t-bib
• t-bnf
• t-chromato
• t-cmscbf
• t-cmttbf
• t-construction-plan
• t-degrade
• t-fixme
• t-french
• t-games
• t-gnuplot
• t-layout
• t-letter
• t-lettrine
• t-lilypond
• t-mathsets
• t-simplefonts
• t-simpleslides
• t-taspresent
• t-tikz
• t-typearea
• t-typescripts
• t-vim
TeX Live

also texmf-fonts (for shared commercial fonts)
at bachotek we discussed this with norbert and he will try to get the
texmf-fonts and texmf-project trees in the standard texmf.cnf setup
another issue discussed was texmx*/fonts/data/* as path for installing
fonts as they are shipped (packaged) by vendors - makes sense now that
we move towards all-opentype

The guide was for modules only and there are not so many which needs
fonts to work,
for fonts separate instructions are better when you want to mention
also type 1 fonts,
tfm and map files etc.

ok, but in mkiv type1's use afm/pfb only, no more map and tfm (the type1
is turned into wide font internally so one has all chars)

Is it possible the reverse runtime ?
I mean, given an opentype that wrap a type1-like font and given an encoding,
make a pdf with that type1 font and encoding

i'm not sure what you mean but you can force types by adding .tfm or
.afm etc (more low level control os possible but not adviced)
anyhow, encodings make no sense any more, so when readign a type 1 i
read the amf file and remap to unicode ... the luatex backend itself
will create subfonts when the number of used chars is > 256
