Just updated direct from -0.1 to -0.3. No update problems.
When texexec runs the comments on stdout/stderr are very different
from previous versions. New texexec version?
"texexec hello" created hello.pdf instead of hello.dvi, a change
from -0.1. Had to use "texexec --dvi hello" to force DVI output.
Problem of wrong font (Vera Sans instead of Type 1) is fixed.
Warning about using texmfstart has gone.
Always get the following warning. Maybe package should configure
cont-sys.tex?
User file 'cont-sys.tex' not found, 'cont-sys.rme' has been used instead.
I suspect this cont-sys.tex is what was known as cont-sys.ini in earlier
versions of ConTeXt.
My test document works OK except for some missing ligatures which I
believe are my problem not yours.
The manual pdftex-t.tex built without significant errors, including
finding all the Palatino fonts that previously TeX could find but
ConTeXt could not. The cover should be adorned with some TeX code but
I don't have the file (pdftex-t.txt) so the cover was somewhat bare but
that's my problem not yours.
pdftex-t builds by default in A4. I tried --mode=letter (that's specific
to this document and doesn't work in texexec in general) and the letter
format build worked fine too.
One minor annoyance is that there may be a missing newline when dumping
font paths during texexec so one sees two or three screenfulls of this
rather than individual lines which would be easier to read:
re/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/palatino/uplr8a.pfb></usr/share/texmf-texlive/
fonts/type1/urw/palatino/uplr8a.pfb></usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/p
alatino/uplr8a.pfb></usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/palatino/uplr8a.pf
b></usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/palatino/uplr8a.pfb></usr/share/tex
mf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/palatino/uplr8a.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/pu
All in all, this is light-years ahead of any other version of ConTeXt I've
tried.
Many Thanks,
