Yes, the entry in fmtutil.cnf that uses mfw must be either a local change or (unlikely) from a buggy package. > i.e., mfw does *not* appear in fmtutil.cnf. > > I don't know why (maybe this format is obsolete), but it explains why I > don't get the error you reported. mfw was the name of the mf binary with X11 support, mf-nowin is the name without. In 2.0, /usr/bin/mf was a symlink to /usr/bin/mfw, now it the binary itself is called /usr/bin/mf. I think this is an upstream change, but restoring the old behavior probably won't hurt anybody. We could also create the reverse symlink (mfw -> mf), but then we get problems in case we want to split of a tetex-bin-nowin package and want /usr/bin/mf to be managed with update-alternatives.
