Got big problems with the fonts that are no more found when using the ruby stuff. Since the unix stubs are crappy, I do this:

ruby /usr/local/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb texexec.rb --pdf typefile.tex

What's wrong?

maybe you need to run mktexlsr

Doesn't help, and the required map files are here for a while (eg: kpsewhich ec-base.map gives /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-base.map).

I tried to use the perl version, and now it tries to find stuff in dvipdfm fonts, which plants:

Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing

It works if i remove (or rename) the dvipdfm directory.

What can i do to have ruby thing working, and pdftex fonts used instead of dvipdfm ones?

your texmf.cnf file should contain:

TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//

as long as we have no uniform map file syntax, progs needs to be able to find their own map files

Ok, thanks, modifying texmf.cnf as you say fixes the path precedence. Now, is there a ruby debug mode to see why the paths are lost with texexec.rb? Or tests I could do to find out what happens? Regards, BG
