pdflatex pk font generation

[Matthias Schweinoch]

Hi,

I've just installed the latest tetex beta release (at the time it was from the 
5th of March).

The Problem I have now is that pdflatex, when invoked with a font that isn't 
installed already, won't generate this font as a default behavior. Only when 
pdflatex is explicitly invoked with the mktex option, like this:

pdflatex -mktex=pk file.tex

does the program do so. Is there an option in texconfig to set this to be the 
default behavior (or did I miss something when compiling the sources?)

Thanks for your help.

texmf.cnf

Hi,

we're using tetex 1.0.9 on a Solaris 2.6 OS. One of the users wishes to modify 
the value of the TEXMFCNF variable, to import his own texmf.cnf file.

Apparently this worked in tetex 0.9pre, but with 1.0.9 he has the following 
problems:

bash% export TEXMFCNF=`kpsewhich  texmf.cnf`; latex Mue11
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
---! Must increase the trie size
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

If someone knows a solution, let me hear it, please:-)

Cheers,

Matthias
