What does that file look > like in your installation? Also attached. In Cygwin's /usr/share/texmf/web2c, there are *.cygwin-dist and *.cygwin-orig copies of fmtutil.cnf, mktex.cnf, and texmf.cnf. The respective copies are all identical, though. Cheers, Ralf

# Thomas Esser, Copyright 1998, 1999. Public domain. # fmtutil.cnf: configuration file for fmtutil. # Customize this file to your needs, e.g. # - remove or uncomment formats that you don't need # - add your own formats # - change default engine / flags for standard formats # Some notes: # 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization. # You can have you own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg) # formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of # plain.tex (see e.g. bplain.ini file for bplain format). # # 2) etex loads language.def, not language.dat. # # 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex) # will be generated by the "texlinks" script.
