Then you haven't looked very carefully. There are two, one in your private texmf tree, most probably unwanted. To get things going again, follow these commands: 1. rm -r /Users/matthias/Library/texmf/web2c 2. sudo su 3. rm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt 4. texexec --make --all At this point, try and see if your installation works again. If it doesn't, you can either edit texmf.cnf or do this: 5. ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont- en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt 6. ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont- nl.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-nl.fmt 7. texhash 5. and 6. have to go into one line; you probably can't copy them from this mail. That should place the format in the right subdirectory. The
