Dear teTeX users,
in our Unix-TeX-environment we use the following settings:
in texmf.cnf:
TEXMFLOCAL = $HOME/tex
TEXMFGROUP = /usr/local/tex
VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL
TEXMF = {$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFGROUP,!!$TEXMFWWU,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFWWU;$TEXMFMAIN
VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts
TEXMFDBS = $TEXMFWWU,$TEXMFMAIN
in mktex.cnf:
: ${MODE=ljfour}
: ${BDPI=600}
: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:dosnames:varfonts}
pk-fonts generated from mf-sources, which lie in the TEXMFWWU or TEXMFMAIN tree,
are stored in the VARTEXFONTS directory.
But pk-fonts generated from mf-sources, which lie in the TEXMFGROUP tree, are
stored in the working directory (eg ./dev600/name.pk), when the TEXMFGROUP
directory is not writable for the user. If TEXMFGROUP is writable the pk-fonts
are stored in TEXMFGROUP.
Why aren't they stored in the VARTEXFONTS directory?
Is this a feature or a bug or have I misunderstood something?
Thanks in advance for any explanation!
