Hi guys,
I have been trying out teTeX-3.0 on a custom made Linux system (Linux From
Scratch with gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4, binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2) built with
options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/share/TeX --disable-multiplatform \
--without-texinfo --with-system-ncurses --with-system-pnglib \
--with-system-zlib.
The system builds nicely with no errors. However, in my job I have to write
notes and articles in greek, with good looking pdf output. The default
teTeX (both 3.0 and 2.0.2) gives blocky and jagged looking output. With
teTeX 2.0.2 I use the cbgreek tfm and pfb fonts available on CTAN (a ~70MB
package). My setup, on 2.0.2, for greek support, is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. install iso-8859-7.def -> ../texmf/tex/latex/base/
2. expand somewhere the cb.tar.gz fonts tarball and from it:
a) copy drivers/*.mf -> ../texmf/fonts/source/public/cbgreek/
b) copy dvips/cbgreek.map -> ../texmf/dvips/config/
c) copy mf/*.mf -> ../texmf/fonts/source/public/cbgreek/
d) copy tfm/*.tfm -> ../texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cbgreek/
e) copy type1/*.pfb -> ../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cbgreek/
3. add the following line to the appropriate place in the
../texmf/dvips/config/config.ps file
p +cbgreek.map
4. add the following line to the appropriate place in the
../texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg file
map +cbgreek.map
5. also in ../texmf/dvipdfm/config/config add
f cbgreek.map
6. texhash
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This worked nicely with very good output. With teTeX-3.0 I see that the
iso-8859-7.def file exists. However I could not find pdftex.cfg or
dvipdfm/config/config and the config.ps of dvips is at
../texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.ps. I spent several hours trying out
various ways to move the fonts and change configuration files with no success.
The problem I have is how/where to include in teTeX my map files and have
it understand where to find the fonts. I would greatly appreciate it if
someone would give me some advice on which direction to look.
TIA
