You can set this in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf. TeX Live is based on teTeX,
but unless you are sure that the problem you have is not caused by a
change made in TeX Live, you should send bug reports to the texlive list.

Attached is a patch file for mf.ch which should fix this.  Can someone
test it in this case?  It's not a full fix; that's for Knuth to do at
some point (he's aware of this bug, at least if it's fixed by this
patch).

Your metafont binary does not work properly. Can you try to recompile
metafont with no or less optimitation?

europs

2002-11-15 Thread Kersten Petersen
Hi,

I want to use the Euro-character in LaTeX. Therefore I tried to install the europs.sty package under teTeX in Mac OS X, but without success. 
Although I followed the instructions of 
	http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/IEEEtran/extras/font_install_how.txt
I can't use the Euro-character. 
Under Pdftex a box is displayed, under Tex and Ghostscript the character is ignored.

Perhaps I should not extract the eurofont.zip for Windows and rename the extracted files appropriately, but adapt the eurofont.sea.hqx for Mac somehow.

Thanks for helping.

Regards,
Kersten

Unfortunately this is a bug in 22.40f; see item 4 on:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=37009

I'd suggest that you upgrade to the current version (22.40r):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23164
CTAN:dviware/xdvik/ (seems to have not yet appeared on the
german mirror, but it's on
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/dviware/xdvik/)

Best,
Stefan

xdvi and \sc

2002-11-15 Thread florian . theilmann
hoi group,

after updating my (i386) 2.2 debian linux to 3.0 (which installed the
following:

... [further uninstalled packages]
) 

I currently see some irritating behaviour in connection with xdvi (which is
xdvi(k) version 22.40f) and the "times"-package: 

in latex I use \sc to change the font of the title in some articles. xdvi
shows a title written in small caps, but is uses the same font size no matter
whether the source char is upper or lower case. the spacing seems to be right.
processing the dvi-file with dvips then gives what I expected to see: bigger
capitals if the char is upper case, smaller ones for lower case.

this examples shows the described behaviour:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{times}

\begin{document}
\title{\sc Title}
\maketitle
\end{document}

obviously this is not a real problem since printed documents look ok. but
maybe it indicates problems not yet discovered...

I could offer some dvitype-output if usefull. any ideas?

best regards

  florian
