That said, I think all you lose without kpathsea is the -a option to otftotfm; the font metrics are created in the current directory and you have to copy them to where your TeX distribution expects them, instead of it using kpathsea to find the right place to copy them itself. (kpathsea does not do font manipulation; it simply reports various configured paths and/or searches for fonts/formats/other TeX-related configuration according to those paths.) The manpage at http://www.lcdf.org/type/otftotfm.1.htmldescribes ways you can tell otftotfm where to install stuff yourself, if you prefer. -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
