| Hello Jean,
| You need exactly (or at least) two things to make dvipng work: | - dvipng binary | - fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map
| I can add that to minimals, just a few questions below ... | It's just that one day it might be splitted (together with dvips & | different font tools that almost nobody uses) into some additional | package that one needs to install separately (with additional | arguments).
| We don't have updmap, so ps2pk needs to be either: | a) prepared semi-manually with fonts that minimals ship | b) taken from TeX Live with both fonts that minimals have and those | that are not shipped at all Hello Mojka, Thank you for taking from your time to look at that! | How many exotic fonts do you usually need? Well nothing really exotic: i just want to use context to ultimately create png images of math formulas to be shown as images on websites... | Does ps2pk require some special syntax? (reading | http://ftp.univie.ac.at/packages/tex/dviware/dvipng/fontmap.c and still | asking stupid questions ...)
No idea, I'm afraid (and no more ideas about the rest :-( )!
| There's only one thing I wonder about: [x]dvipdfmx uses the map file | that are specified in dvi (xdv) specials. | - How does dvips know which map files to use? / Is there some | "quasi-standard" way to secify map files in dvi? | - Would it make sense (in long term) to ask the author of dvipng to | honour the map files specified in dvi file instead of requiring ps2pk | to be unconditionally present? | - not to be taken seriously: (Wouldn't it be nice if pdftex/luatex was | able to generate PNGs out of the box? :) :) :)
| (Well, I know, ConTeXt is a bit different from LaTeX with respect to | map files ...) Thanks, -- Jean
