no: we don't make recommendations like that. the change came from the tds group, who're as near to a standards body as tex systems get. > I know that the > location of the configuration files are different in the > different distributions. SuSE has them in /etc/texmf/. > Furthermore, your installation expects that the user has > the priviledge to write to /usr/local/. the trick is to specify things relative to the texmf (or rather, texmf-local or localtexmf) root. on a unix-alike system, there's a ~/texmf recognised, too: if you're just installing for your own use you can put the fonts, etc., in that. the problem is, of course, that people like me (at home), running old distributions, need the old instructions ($TEXMFMAIN/dvips/config/); whereas people like you and me (at work) need the new instructions ($TEXMFMAIN/fonts/map/). i'm currently quietly boggling about this issue in the tex faq sources... it's about time i did something, but i'm really not sure what. r _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
