does somebody already have some experience with the installation of the

little problems:
"texexec test" runs ok, but "dvips test" gives the following messages:

. [1] The problem with the \printpaperwidth etc is not so serious, since I can overwrite the \dosetuppaper macro: \definespecial\dosetuppaper#1#2#3{% \special{papersize=\the\printpaperwidth,\the\printpaperheight}}

But for the ec-lmr12 problem, I would appreciate some help. I've already tried some commands like "updmap-sys --enable Map ec-public-lm.map" but without success.

Hans
Updmap is a new method of updating all the various font configuration files on a TeX distribution. It exists on my TeXLive distro and also my Slackware TeX distro (presumably tetex.) Here is a condensed version of the man page: -------------------------------------------------------------- updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for dvips(1), pdftex(1), xdvi(1), ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1), dvipdfm(1) and (soon) dvipdfmx(1). In an ideal world, updmap would be unnecessary -- each of these programs would read the same configuration file to learn what fonts are available and how they should be treated. As things stand, however, each of these tools has subtly different requirements and thereby needs its own font configuration file. updmap creates font configuration files for all of these programs from a single source, allowing you to easily keep all the different configuration files in sync. updmap reads a configuration file, updmap.cfg(5) and, depending on the options specified in that file and on the command line, updmap will write generated map files to a directory of your choosing (via one of the --*outputdir options), or automatically determine where to place the files. In the latter case, it tries to use the tree where the variable TEXMFVAR points to. When used with the options --edit, --setoption, --enable, --disable, or --syncwithtrees, updmap will first write updmap.cfg(5) and regenerate the map files only if this file has been changed. ------------------------------------------------------------- As previously posted I add a line to updmap.cfg asking it to look for plus.map. Then I add/delete etc. font statements to that file. When run updmap then updates all the other files used by various tex variants as described above. -- John Culleton

Updmap is a new method of updating all the various font
i know what it does, but i don;t know the dirty details -) i don't use it because (1) i had other mechanisms in place before updmap came around keep in mind that i have quite some fonts on my system, and esp for commercial fonts have metrics that may not match ones that now or later show up in the tex distributions and map entries play a role in inclusion of pdf graphics and i don't want surprises (read: wrong metrics and substitutions) (2) i want more control over loading (handy when you have thousands of fonts) (3) when this 'big map file' came around it froze pdftex due to the implementation of map files in pdftex, but that was solved later, as well as caused inclusions problems due to the fact that duplicate FontName entries clash (esp tricky with slanted of expanded fonts) So, i'd rather play safe -) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, it's not a dvips problem. If I do a "texexec --pdf test", then I get also "Warning: pdfetex (file ec-lmr12): Font ec-lmr12 at 72 not found". Am I the only teTeX-user having this problem? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Judging from the path, these are still the old map files from teTeX, not the new one that you (perhaps) have installed in /opt/teTeX/texmf-local. This directory (/opt/teTeX/texmf-dist) is not out-of-the-box teTeX 3.0, so I guess you have to do some distribution-specific tweaking. Please update the wiki page when you are done. this particular update is a bit problematic so the more specific information in the wiki, the better. Taco

No, these map-files are coming from cont-tmf.zip. /opt/teTeX/texmf-dist is the only texmf-tree on my system. Tomorrow I'm going to try an installation with texmf-local, perhaps it's really better to separate the updates from the main distribution.
This directory (/opt/teTeX/texmf-dist) is not out-of-the-box teTeX 3.0, so I guess you have to do some distribution-specific tweaking.
I've just replaced "/usr/local/teTeX/share" by "/opt/teTeX".
From tetex-src-3.00/INSTALL:
You can omit the "share/" part for the texmf directories if you want. $prefix/share/texmf and $prefix/texmf are auto-detected by configure. and For now, you have to create two texmf directories and unpack the tar archive there. Example (the "#" character represents the prompt of your shell, don't type it in): # mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist # gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \ | (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist; tar xvf -) Do you have the same duplicates in pdftex.map? And do you use the default cont-sys.rme? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

It is set in the default texmnf.cnf from teTeX, so I just amended as needed. It is definately needed when there are still formats in 'bare' web2c because that would overshadow web2c/pdfetex if there was no TEXFORMATS setting. But if there are no such formats, then I suspect it makes no difference whether TEXFORMATS is set or not. Not tested though. Taco

hm, you can just set anything you want; the only thing context wants is an engine subpath which is needed because the efmt ofmt fmt etc suffixes were replaced in web2c by one suffix; otherwise you can not run for instance pdfetex and aleph alongside unless using different names for formats which is even more fuzzy and tricky to maintain.
