Hi Thomas, I'm currently RPM-packaging tetex 3.0, and a found a problem with mf, mf-nowin and mfw. At least I'm a bit confused about it.
In the past there was 'mfw' and 'mf-nowin' executable, the first was compiled with window support (and thus linked with X11 libraries) and 'mf-nowin' which hadn't window support and thus linked with only libc libraries. And the fmtutil were soft-linking 'mf' either to 'mfw', if it existsted, otherwise to 'mf-nowin'. Now, instead there are only binaries 'mf' (which stays for old mfw) and 'mf-nowin'. Why this changed behaviour? Or it's just a thing forgot in the newer texk/web2c/Makefile.in?
Bye. Giuseppe.
