In my Windows build of emacs, when I put the cursor in a latex equation and
run
M-x org-toggle-latex-fragment
then things chug along for a second but then fail. In the *Org Preview
LaTex Output* buffer, I see the message:
This is dvipng 1.15 Copyright 2002-2015 Jan-Ake Larsson
[1
dvipng: Fatal error, cannot open output file
c:/Users/scott/AppData/Local/Temp/"orgtex4628hQG.png
The reason for the failure is the leftover quote (...Temp/"orgtex...) in
the expected png output file. With some hackery, I can see that the
command that's being run is:
dvipng -fg "rgb 0 0 0" -bg "rgb 1 1 1" -D "102.0" -T tight -o
"c:/Users/scott/AppData/Local/Temp/""orgtex4628hQG".png
"c:/Users/scott/AppData/Local/Temp/orgtex4628hQG.dvi"
If I paste that into a cygwin xterm, it runs fine on the .dvi file that's
still in the Temp directory. But the command fails in a Windows cmd
window; if I remove the extra quotes, then the command works in the cmd
window too.
The extra quote comes from the default customization for the dvipng
image-converter field of org-preview-latex-process-alist:
dvipng -fg %F -bg %B -D %D -T tight -o %o%b.png %f
where the %o%b part of the customization concatenates two strings that are
already quoted. That's OK for *nix but apparently not for Windows.
I don't see a way to change the customization to fix this; can anyone take
a look at the elisp?
Thanks,
Scott
