Re: teTeX binaries


Hello Jerome,

Thank you for responding, and thank you for porting the binaries of
teTeX.  I've managed up to this point not to get my hands bloody
poking around in the digestive system of TeX; guess it's that time to
read up on how fonts are created.  Here's the output from the
canonical dvips configuration.  I'm still clueless, hope it's some
use to you.  (ps. Is it possible that the mf.base file---like the .pool
files---should be included in the distribution, or do I generate it?)

> Have you try with a more canonical dvips configuration ?

> D 600
> X 600
> Y 600
> M ljfour

> R 300 600
> ======================================

I've hacked my config.ps to give these settings, output attached.

The errors can be duplicated from the command line with

$ mktexpk --mfmode ljfour -bdpi 600 cmr10

mf.base, for fpTeX, is not in the TDS (its in C:\Local\TeX\texmf-var\web2c),
suggesting it's a generated file.  Just for kicks, I copied the file
over to /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c.

$ cp /cygdrive/c/local/tex/texmf-var/web2c/mf.base /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c
$ mktexpk --mfmode ljfour -bdpi 600 cmr10
