Pb compiling s-pre-61.tex

Pb compiling s-pre-61.tex

[olibou]

Hello !

Sorry, I'm a bit new to context ... but I try it for presentation
slides... And up to now, I like it very much ... 

I tried to compile different examples included in the base
distribution ... but some, I fail to compile ... And I do not know
where I'm wrong ...

For example, I tried s-pre-61.tex to compile and it fails ... here is
the output of the compile process ...


 # cp /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-61.tex .
oli@olinux:~/E/Context
 # texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61.tex

you use an quite old version of context (properties are old but not that old); 
interestingly you do have s-pre-61 which uses this functionality on your system 
so i'm a bit puzzled

Hi,
I've felt into same pb's trying to compile s-pre-61.tex directly from 
it's original source. As far I can see (just to the surface of the 
screen in fact) it's related to a specific font installed at Pragma, not 
available for everyone as is.
if I replace or uncomment :
    \usetypescriptfile[type-ghz]
     
\definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=\defaultencoding]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,18pt]
and put such general font switch like :
    \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding]
    \setupbodyfont[modern,ss,11pt]
it compile without pbs.
Your installation seems rather old

Cordialement
