MusiXTeX/OpusTeX and teTeX's special.map file
Hello!
I have been packaging MusiXTeX and OpusTeX. I have a little configuration
issue. MusiXTeX and OpusTeX comes with its own fonts. For MusiXTeX, some
of the fonts are already listed in /usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map,
but there a few that are missing. Likewise, there are no entries for
OpusTeX fonts in special.map.
This affects the operation of neither MusiXTeX nor OpusTeX. However,
there is a minor annoyance that the generated PK files would be put in the
wrong place. (e.g. /var/spool/texmf/pk/<mode>/unknown/unknown,
/var/spool/texmf/pk/<mode>/corel/*) Therefore, I wonder if it is
appropriate to use postinst modify /usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map?
That is, search for the following:
musix public musix
xsl public musix
xtie public musix
and replace the segment with this:
musix public musix
musixsps public musix
musixspx public musix
xgreg public musix
xsl public musix
xtie public musix
opus public opus
opusline public opus
opusnum public opus
opussps public opus
osl public opus
If this is appropriate, should I use Perl, awk or sed, or are there some
special tools for this? ^_^ Or, perhaps, is there a fontmap file (other
than special.map) specifically for local configuration? ^_^
Also, in the long term, should we ask teTeX's author and/or Karl Berry to
add the entries into special.map?
Thanks for all your help! ^_^
