I have had the Tex/Latex installed on our PI for a while now and when I heard that the new version of texsgi was availabe I got a copy of it via FTP. As before it resides in a directory called /usr/local/tex/bin and I also got the texsgi-fonts.tar.Z and they got automatically installed in /usr/local/share. Now when I try to run texsgi it opens an empty window and spits out messages such as cannot find cmti10 mag710 font and couple of other fonts. I realize that the fonts that have been defined as default are some how unable to be located. I have not changed anything else and I did not bother to get, I mean ftp, the texsgi-src.tar.Z since I thought it may not be needed. Can some one tell me what I may be doing wrong? If my posting sounds cryptic then I can post the actual or more elaborate error messages that I get in my WSH window. Thanking in advance.

My experience with Mike G.'s texsgi has been ok (not great, but he is still working on it). Mike has told me that you must have the font files in the directory it expects it in. I recompiled the source with the proper path, and that solved the problem. The program does not use the environment var FONTPATH (or somthing like that) that it is advertized to use. dan. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
