Salvete,
I tried upgrading to pdfTeX 1.20a on my powerbook. I built the binaries successfully and placed them and their pool files into some temporary location and I was able to build ConTeXt formats. Unfortunately, pdftex.map was not found, generated files have just lots of empty pages.
I did try "sudo texmfstart textools --fixtexmftrees", but that did not move pdftex.map from its place in dvips/config. I tried to follow the NEWS file in the pdftex distribution, but that only lists two non-existant URLs at tug.org to find information. The list archive of tex-live seems to have moved and to be inaccessible to non-subscribers. Not wanting yet another mailing list, I just don't have access to this vital piece of information, which imho should be listed right in the NEWS file.
textools --fixtexmftrees c:\tex\texmf-local [--force] and alike will fix the tree (map files are now under /fonts/map) and you need to change the texmf.cnf file accordingly TEXPSHEADERS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/{enc,map,type1,truetype},dvips,pdftex,tex}//;$TEXMF/{etex,tex,pdftex,dvips,fonts/type1}// TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map//,fontname};$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config;$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}// TEXCONFIG = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map,dvips,pdftex,dvipdfmx,dvipdfm}// PDFTEXCONFIG = .;$TEXMF/pdftex/{$progname,}// DVIPDFMINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map,dvips,pdftex,dvipdfmx,dvipdfm}// ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
