Hi, thanks for the script :-) it works fine. But I've two questions. First: Must I compile the XML file to the PDF? Because wenn I've only the XML file my output when I use the database looks so: (././Figure-lib.xml) figures : figure Figure-lib can not be found And after I compiled a PDF like: texexec --pdf --use=fig-make Figure-lib.xml it look like: (././Figure-lib.xml) figures : figureobject Figure-lib.pdf is reused Second: When I compile this PDF I've a font problem... systems : begin file Figure-lib at line 333 (./Figure-lib.xml) (./Figure-lib.xml figures : figure inet can not be found (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex) fonts : resetting map file list fonts : using map file: original-base fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-base fonts : using map file: original-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-urw-times fonts : using map file: original-youngryu-tx fonts : using map file: ec-urw-helvetica fonts : using map file: ec-urw-courier references : unknown reference [][Description] interaction : aspect ratio 120.95996 x 90.71997 (b x h) interaction : pdftex code inserted references : unknown reference [][begin] [1.1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-empty .map}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-base .map}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-public-lm. map}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-base.map}{/ usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-ams-base.ma p}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-public- lm.map} Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file {/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-youngryu- tx.map} Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-courier.map): cannot open font map file ] figures : figure karte can not be found references : unknown reference [][Description] [2.1] <./back.jpg> figures : dimensions of ./back.jpg loaded from figurefile itself references : unknown reference [][Description] interaction : aspect ratio 355.5684 x 135.8676 (b x h) [3.1] <./rzv.jpg> figures : dimensions of ./rzv.jpg loaded from figurefile itself references : unknown reference [][Description] interaction : aspect ratio 118.94438 x 37.64063 (b x h) [4.1]) (./Figure-lib.xml subject : - Figure collection references : unknown reference [][Figure] references : unknown reference [][GridPg] figures : figure inet can not be found figures : figure inet can not be found references : unknown reference [][Figure] references : unknown reference [][GridPg] figures : figure karte can not be found figures : figure karte can not be found references : unknown reference [][Figure] references : unknown reference [][GridPg] figures : figureobject back.jpg is reused figures : figureobject back.jpg is reused references : unknown reference [][index] references : unknown reference [][list] interaction : aspect ratio 600.0 x 450.0 (b x h) [5.1] references : unknown reference [][Figure] references : unknown reference [][GridPg] figures : figureobject rzv.jpg is reused figures : figureobject rzv.jpg is reused ) [6.2] subject : - List of figures system : figurelist not found/processed [7.3] subject : - Index of figures system : figureindex not found/processed [8.4] systems : end file Figure-lib at line 381 ) )kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+14/72 --dpi 86 ptmr8r mktexpk: No such file or directory kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
