Re: Babel installation fix?
David Do I have to completely remove TeX and then reinstall it? Just downgrade to mfbasfnt-1.0-3 from the stable aka buzz-fixed release. It contains a manfnt.mf so that TeX builds. dpkg --configure babel should then set babel straight. -- Dirk Eddelbuttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
Re: Babel installation fix?
Put this file in /var/spool/texmf/fonts/tfm, this should fix the problem. I had the same problem, the package developer mailed me this file.
