Hi Guenter,
Regarding the first problem with the times package, we need to find
out why kpsewhich does not resolve the request for an postscript
snippet. The following code seems to return None for you, and the
question is, why (and how we should call kpsewhich to get the proper
path back):
from pyx.pykpathsea import *
print find_file("8r.enc", kpse_tex_ps_header_format)
(This code is just a wrapper for a call of the kpsewhich executable.
See the trivial pyx/pykpathsea/__init__.py. Please try to find out,
why the encoding file is not found and tell me how to improve the
situation for your MikTeX installation.)
The second issue is a clear bug in PyX (for handling file names with
white space). Please check whether the following code (in the
beginning of your pyx script) fixes the issue:
from pyx import *
# insert this monkey patch
import re
text._texmessageloaddef.pattern = re.compile(r"\([\"]?(?
P<filename>(?:(?<!\")[^()\s\n]+(?!\"))|[^()\"\n]+)(\.fd|\.def)[\"]?(?
P<additional>[^()]*)\)")
# end of monkey patch
Best,
André
