TeX Configuration -Diff-

The Plan 9 documentation is in troff; however, TeX has been compiled and brought up under the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). It is a separate package from the main distribution due to its size.

The TeX distribution can be found in /n/sources/extra/tex.iso.bz2

This is a TeX distribution that uses the kpathsearch modifications; the main library tree is kept in /sys/lib/texmf.

DVIPS

The Plan 9 TeX installation defines three dvips printer drivers (to use with dvips -Pdrivername): ps, psfonts, and bitmapfonts. The appropriate driver to use depends on the intended use of the output.

ADDING SUPPORT FOR OTHER LANGUAGES

To add hyphenation patterns for other languages, do the following.

cd /sys/src/cmd/tex/web2c/tex
rm *.fmt
mk install-fmt

It gives errors saying that a file is too old. Go to the file and change the date from 1999 to 200x. Repeat.
