Hello Hans,
Could you please answer my questions about recent Windows minimal?
1) Why we need to set almost all in setuptex.bat, while the same vars (except Windows' PATH) are already set in texmf.cnf?
well, this is not recent, but has aways been the case; in setuptex i make sure that no conflicts can arise between different trees; so one can have multiple trees installed, without clashed; you don't wanna know what can happen (and how much time it costs to find out and fix) if some installer has set variables at the outer shell level; i just don't want to take any risk here
2) How can I get rid of LM (and other) fonts completely? I want to use solely luatex and system fonts, but bound to have those monsters too.
just delete them but i would not delete the lm since they're used as fallbacks; if you want to default to something else, you need to tweak the initializations (maybe some day when the gyre math fonts are there i'll provide something for that); keep in mind that many tex users use tex for math and not having set up math will break al lot then
My area of interest is luatex only, since it is progressive, font-tolerant and powerful. :o)
well, the overhead of lm is not that large (maybe someday i'll ship zips and run the fonts from zips); a few cjk fonts in your system font path take more space -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
