kpsewhich --engine=pdfetex cont-en.fmt
works ok on windows but not on unix; unfortunately we cannot use
Argh, it kind of does, but it kind of doesn't. This is my tetex/gwTeX result: % kpsewhich --engine=pdfetex cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt % kpsewhich --engine=xetex cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt Which is pretty much right! But it sounds like you're running into the weird inconsistency I found when I was trying to get the engine paths right for xetex. It worked, but didn't, and I felt clueless and frustrated. Maddening. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
