Thanks :)
Try to install TeXLive 2007.
I will, but I'm afraid I am not good enough for "porting" it to the FreeBSD ports.
Doesn't something already exist on the link above (I didn't read carefully and I wasn't sure about the FreeBSD/OpenBSD relation)?
Does locate uzcmi8t return you anything?
No, no matches found here.
That means that you don't have those fonts (or that they have different names).
Try to install TeXLive 2007 or minimal ConTeXt distribution.
I like ConTeXt a lot, so I will try to install a minimal ConTeXt distribution in my $HOME first, and if that fails I will go the TeXLive route some time during September.
Well, I forgot that there are no minimals for FreeBSD
For now, I will have to stick with the CM fonts for a while, and finish writing the documents which I want to write.
OK, so here is what you need to do to install the non-existing "minimals": Step 1: download from PRAGMA: wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip justtex.zip unzip linuxtex.zip Step 2: download binaries from TeXLive 2007 and prepare a freebsd binary folder cd tex mkdir texmf-freebsd cd texmf-freebsd svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/i386-freebsd mv i386-freebsd bin # perhaps also chmod 755 bin/* mv ../texmf-linux/web2c . cd .. rm -r texmf-linux Step 3: patch setuptex Find the following ines in setuptex: export TEXARCH=`uname -m` export TEXUNIX=`uname -s` if [ "$TEXARCH" = "x86_64" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64 ; fi if [ "$TEXUNIX" = "Darwin" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-macosx ; fi and add a hardcoded line below them export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-freebsd Step 4: First setup Run . setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --all --xtx # don't worry about those below yet if they don't work luatools --generate texexec --make --all --lua Step 5: compile your document cd your-folder texexec your-file Step 6: next time cd folder-with-setuptex . setuptex (I've put that command to .bashrc) If you want TeXLive 2007: svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master ./install-live.sh You can install it in such a way that it doesn't interfere with your old system.

OpenBSD has a port in current (it will make 4.3, to be released in 2008-05). FreeBSD clings to tetex. :-{ Best Martin

Step 2: download binaries from TeXLive 2007 and prepare a freebsd binary folder
*snip* I do this regularly (including building luatex from svn). If there is enough demand for it, I can put together a freebsdtex.zip for the wiki. Cheers, Olaf

Maybe with enough support from the Ports team of FreeBSD, we can switch from teTeX to TeXLive? But this is a plan which requires quite a bit of work from experienced TeXhackers, which I am not :-/

As far as I can tell it's the sheer size of TexLive that is keeping it from being ported. I would think it is not trivial to modularize it enough to bring the installed size down. What I am thinking about is building a minimal context port. This should be easier to accomplish since we already have a minimal texmf tree thanks to Hans. All that is needed is a source for the FreeBSD binaries. These could be built out of the TexLive source tree... I'll try to cook something up the next couple of days. Cheers, Olaf

Have a look at the work Ed did for OpenBSD; this should be esay to adapt for FreeBSD. Search the TeXlive archives. :-) Best Martin

Surprise: This has already been done. Linux does it, OpenBSD does it. Again: Study the OpenBSD port. Best Martin
Hi, We appear to be cross posting here guys. I don't know how it is in the TeX community, but some people get very upset by this. Is this allowed?

Yes, I did have to split it down, so that the minimal "tetex like" distribution could go on the OpenBSD cdrom. There is a python script which can help split TL down and also a large document describing how TeXLive can be ported to OpenBSD, which I wrote because I knew the other BSD's could benefit from my findings. Also a company has sponsored the OpenBSD port and I have some more recent sparc64 hardware on it's way, meaning that I should be able to test some more recent TL snapshots on sparc64 ready for the 2008 release, hopefully minimising portlag. Unfortunately I am stuck in a rut with tl2007. An annoying bug regarding updmap-sys creating dvi maps instead of pdftex maps when TEXMFSYSVAR is not merged with TEXMFMAIN. If anyone on either lists knows how this could happen or is willing to help look into it, pease drop me a mail (I can make qemu images of an OpenBSD dev snapshot with these symptoms). I have a patch to try, but I don't think it is related, so I think I am stuck.
