Re: Problems with teTeX on FreeBSD 4.7

2002-12-25 Thread Thomas Esser
 Building the most recent teTeX (tetex-src-1.0.7.tar.gz) on our OpenBSD
 Sparc server proceeded without problems. When I tried to add support
 for our FreeBSD i386 platforms by mounting the proper directories on the
 freebsd platform, logging in there and doing:

Thanks for your bug report.

Since you have found your work-around and since I am close to release
a new version of teTeX, it does not make much sense to try fixing
teTeX-1.0.7 in this respect.

The current teTeX-beta (which is already close to the next teTeX
release) is known to work fine on FreeBSD/i386. If you want to try
it yourself, follow the beta versions link on the teTeX homepage
(http://tug.org/teTeX/).

Enjoy your Xmas break. Axel.

 TE dvipdfm

that will make dvips-generated PS files a bit bigger (if the explicit
encoding is used in dvips map file too) - so just a thought: maybe
it's possible to have sriver-sprcific source map files (from which
driver-specific final map files are generated)? e.g. there may be a
map file inside texmf/dvipdfm/* for CM fonts with explicit encoding,
and a map file for CM fonts (with the same name) without explicit
encoding in texmf/dvips/*, and updmap can get the proper file to take
into account such things?

Best,
v.
