CM-Super font package v0.3.2 released

[Graham Gough]

Sorry if this is a naive question, but I would like to install
CM-super in a local-texmf tree rather than the main tree which
contains updmap. What is the step I need to take instead of 
editting the updmap script?

Thanks

Re: TeTeX on Redhat and shared texmf TeXLive 6

[Graham Gough]

This correspondence has prompted me to write on a topic that has
concerned me for a while. 

Our department's main teaching and research computing resource is now
provided by a network of Linux machines, running Red Hat, each of
which has local copies of as much software as possible. We keep them
up to date by using rpms to update the local copies. This means that
they are now running the version of teTeX available in the
tetex-*-1.0.6-11 series of rpms, which are now quite old. Updating
such a large number of machines without the necessary rpms does not
appear to be an option. It would appear that, to keep teTeX reasonably
current, we need to switch to a single, centrally maintained copy. Do
others have the same problems, or any bright ideas to solve them? 

Thanks

Graham

Re: dvips abort

[Graham Gough]

Somewhat bizarrely, I have seen exactly the same 
   xputenv.c:79: xputenv: Assertion `old_item' failed
error recently thrown up by xdvi on my RH 6.0 system. I have only seen
the error with one particular file.
