Subject: tetex-bin: mkfontdesc fails on Debian [FIX]
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 16:16:53 -0700
Sender: c@eskimo.com
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20000807
Severity: normal
mkfontdesc doesn't work on Debian because PK fonts are kept in
/var/spool/texmf/pk:
diziet# mkfontdesc
Ooops! font-directory /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk does not exist.
Need to change value for $TEXMFMAIN?
PK fonts are stored in /var/spool/texmf/pk on Debian systems, but
mkfontdesc assumes that they are in TEXMFMAIN/fonts/pk, where
TEXMFMAIN is expanded to /usr/share/texmf by kpstool -v
'$TEXMFMAIN'.
VARTEXFONTS is set to /var/spool/texmf, but using VARTEXFONTS
instead of TEXMFMAIN would still fail because mkfontdesc assumes
that there's a directory called fonts that contains a directory
called pk below the directory specifed.
The problem can be fixed by creating a symbolic link between
/var/spool/texmf/pk and /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk, but I'm not
sure that's the best solution.
