Revision as of 09:59, 17 October 2005

In the section entitled Install the zip archive towards the end of the page, the line

cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c

contains the hard-coded path /root/.texmf-var/web2c which is not explained. Could you clarify where I should be looking for the .texm-var/web2c folder and its contents please?

Thanks.

lmodern in debian

Hi David,

Can you check the version number of latin modern in Debian please? It has to be precisely 0.89.3, or some ConTeXt documents will come out wrong. The cont-lmt.zip is separate because the font is not updated as frequently as cont-tmf.zip, but they really are tied together quite closely.

--Taco

dpkg -l lmodern gives lmodern 0.92-7 scalable PostScript fonts for european chara

Could you, please, give me one or two ConTeXt documents that may come out wrong ?

--David

Never mind, I checked and the newer version should be ok. Hans will switch the main distriution over to 0.92 for the next release as well, and that won't take longer than a week or so anyway. --Taco 15:31, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Wrong path?

Hi, in the "code" section

# cp -f build/tex/web2c/pdftex which pdftex
# cp -f build/texk/web2c/pdfetex which pdfetex
# cd build/tex/web2c
# cp -f pdftex.pool pdfetex.pool /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c
# fmtutil-sys --refresh

I think that in line 1 it should be build/texk/web2c/pdftex ... ...at least I couldn't find any directory named "tex".

And then I would like to thank the authors of this page for saving my life with these simple and streightforward instructions on installing this, well, complicated software! 213.213.136.102 16:17, 16 October 2005 (CEST)
