OpenBSD has a port in current (it will make 4.3, to be released in
2008-05). FreeBSD clings to tetex. :-{
Maybe with enough support from the Ports team of FreeBSD, we can switch
from teTeX to TeXLive? But this is a plan which requires quite a bit of

As far as I can tell it's the sheer size of TexLive that is keeping it
from being ported. I would think it is not trivial to modularize it
enough to bring the installed size down.
What I am thinking about is building a minimal context port. This
should be easier to accomplish since we already have a minimal texmf
tree thanks to Hans. All that is needed is a source for the FreeBSD
binaries. These could be built out of the TexLive source tree...
I'll try to cook something up the next couple of days.
Cheers,
Olaf

I will, but I'm afraid I am not good enough for porting it to the FreeBSD ports. Doesn't something already exist on the link above (I didn't read carefully and I wasn't sure about the FreeBSD/OpenBSD relation)? Does locate uzcmi8t return you anything? No, no matches found here. That means that you don't have those fonts (or that they have different names). Try to install TeXLive 2007 or minimal ConTeXt distribution. I like ConTeXt a lot, so I will try to install a minimal ConTeXt distribution in my $HOME first, and if that fails I will go the TeXLive route some time during September. Well, I forgot that there are no minimals for FreeBSD For now, I will have to stick with the CM fonts for a while, and finish writing the documents which I want to write. OK, so here is what you need to do to install the non-existing minimals: Step 1: download from PRAGMA: wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip justtex.zip unzip linuxtex.zip Step 2: download binaries from TeXLive 2007 and prepare a freebsd binary folder cd tex mkdir texmf-freebsd cd texmf-freebsd svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/i386-freebsd mv i386-freebsd bin # perhaps also chmod 755 bin/* mv ../texmf-linux/web2c . cd .. rm -r texmf-linux Step 3: patch setuptex Find the following ines in setuptex: export TEXARCH=`uname -m` export TEXUNIX=`uname -s` if [ $TEXARCH = x86_64 ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64 ; fi if [ $TEXUNIX = Darwin ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-macosx ; fi and add a hardcoded line below them export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-freebsd Step 4: First setup Run . setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --all --xtx # don't worry about those below yet if they don't work luatools --generate texexec --make --all --lua Step 5: compile your document cd your-folder texexec your-file Step 6: next time cd folder-with-setuptex . setuptex (I've put that command to .bashrc) If you want TeXLive 2007: svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master ./install-live.sh You can install it in such a way that it doesn't interfere with your old system.
