Hello Ciro,

I am my distributor maintainer.

But you got your distribution from some source?

I downloaded the CD iso image from a website and installed Fedora Core 3.

what is the "local guide" you refer to?

This should come with your TeX system (Linux system, downloaded TeX system, whatever) that tells you about things that you need to know about your TeX system. Including the available fonts. Since I don't know what your TeX system is, I can't tell you if you have such a local guide. If it is not on your system, you should complain to the person that gave you the TeX.

Similarly, I downloaded texlive2004 CD from the tug.org, and installed it according to the instructions in the CD. What is the name of the 'local guide' file?
