Changes

'''Hint for MikTeX users:''' The counterpart to <tt>texmf.cnf</tt> is was <tt>miktex.ini</tt>, now the config is [http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/runtimeparams.html stored separately for each program] == Location and priority of texmf.cnf files == Assuming that you have your distribution in /usr/local/texlive/2008, the following texmf.cnf files are read (in this order) if they exist: # /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/x86_64-linux/texmf.cnf# /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/texmf.cnf# /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf.cnf# /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Variables you set in a particular file are *not* overwritten by fileswhich are read later. The default is (4). If you have to customize texmf.cnf, the best thingyou can do is to put only the variables you want to change into (3). (1) is quite useful for system dependent configuration. Onmulti-platform installations you could create a file/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/win32/texmf.cnf on the server whichcontains the single line  OSFONTDIR = $SystemRoot/Fonts and this only affects Windows clients, even if (3) contains the line  OSFONTDIR = /usr/share/fonts.
