Hi everyone:
I am trying to get TeX to work with simplified Chinese characters.
The Chinese HOWTO on the web says that I should set the $TEXMF environment
variable to something like /usr/lib/texmf. I have created this subdirectory
and environment variable.
But when I try to use TeX after modifying my profile, it says, "I can't find
the format file `tex.fmt."
So I take the TEXMF environment variable out of profile, and now TeX works
normally. I was assuming there the TEXMF environment variable was set
somewhere else during bootup but when I type $TEXMF at the command prompt I
get nothing. So now I assume that if the TEXMF variable is not externally
set there is a default subdirectory that is internal to TeX.
So I have a number of questions:
1) How do I find out what the default is?
2) How do I find out which metafonts were automatically installed on my
computer.
3) I installed a number of fonts -- Korean, Japanese, Russian and a few
types of Chinese -- when I set up my version of Linux. In a perfect world,
I would be able to use these fonts with TeX, perhaps with some modifications
to TeX. Am I dreaming, or are the fonts I installed at installation which
work perfectly on my display incompatible for printing?
Many thanks.
Tony Caskey
