# this file has been changed by the postinst script. User-changes from

mf mf-nowin - -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini

pdfetex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini

#
# Change "tex.ini -> bplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in tex. Add -translate-file=cp227.tcx before
# tex.ini if you want to make all characters directly "printable" for
# any \write (instead of ^^xy).
tex tex - tex.ini
# The following added lines have been transferred from
# /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf
#They take precedence over earlier entries

### /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf not included because either it wasn't
### up-to-date (conffile update pending) or the package shipping it was
### apparently removed (no corresponding .list file in
### /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/).
