As I said, I work with the standalone distri?

the minimal or the complete windows version (including scite etc)

And I thought, the binaries are from fptex, right?

sure

And if both texexec.ini's are removed:

texexec complains:

warning: texexec.ini not found, try 'texexec --verbose'

(the same with texexec --verbose)

but that should normally be no problem

...

newtexexec.rb (which will replace texexec.pl) has no ini file but uses some heuristics to determine what environment it runs in

...

...

'texexec --verbose' tries to compile all the files in the aktuel path.

but

'texmfstart texexec.pl --verbose' works ok.

same with

'texexec --make --all' doesn't work

but

'texmfstart texexec.pl --make --all' works!

good

upps?

texexec (without parameters)

compiles cscite.bat! Why?

strange indeed can you run "texmfstart texexec" and see what happens then

...

on windows: you need to associate the pl suffix to perl on linux you need to make texexec into a script (suffixless)

on both you can best use texmfstart to launch the scripts since that's upward compatible (and in some respects this call is more clever); if needef you can create stubs with texmfstart (see manual)

This works!

But next Problem:

pdfetex can not find pk-fonts.

I have written:

PKFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/pk//

in 'texmf.cnf'

font-file lies in

texmf-project/fonts/pk/ricoh/local/msl/msl50.pk

what else can I do?

ok, that's another problem (once solved you know a bit about tex and fonts) ... it looks like there is a problem with locating fonts ... what font is that: msl50 ? (the minimal distribution does not have such a font) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
