Hi Taco, hi all! I am trying to fix all the problems for Debian ... Another thing Taco wrote was:
* TEXFORMATS as shipped with teTeX/TL is uncomplete: there is that missing format-specific subdirectory. If you are not root, then you have to create a local texmf.cnf to overrule the default texmf.cnf. I have:
TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}
because context's texexec pushes the $engine setting to the environment, this works fine (Originally this was supposed to be handled by kpathsea, but like I said, that never got off the ground)
This change I have executed in the tex-common depot, it will not hurt anybody.
* TEXFONTMAPS is also wrong: it makes pdftex (and dvipdfmx as well, I guess) find the mapfiles for dvips before their own mapfiles (those are shipped with ConTeXt).
I have:
TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfm = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfmx = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{xetex,pdftex,dvips,}// TEXFONTMAPS.dvips = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvips,pdftex,}// TEXFONTMAPS =.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;\ $TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//
this works fine (but it is perhaps a bit too verbose).
Debian currently has:
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips//
What about this? I am not completely convinced about it since with
updmap we generate input file for all the different programs.
For Taco: I have NOT installed the dvipdfm map files, only those from
fonts/map/pdftex/context and fonts/map/dvips/context
Furthermore I have added all the maps in fonts/map/dvips/context to the
updmap config file and called updmap-sys.
So now I can call texexec on several documents without any problems and
all the fonts are found.
What is the problem with
- removing the dvipdfm maps
- generating lines for dvipdfm(x), pdfetex, dvips from the dvips config
files as done by updmap-sys
It would be great if we could straighten this out and get nice packages
for Debian rather soon.
Best wishes
Norbert
