TeX Configuration D1140100066 Auriel (82.182.149.46) #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. # # * The ps driver (the default) generates Postscript files with # references to the Postscript versions of any TeX fonts. These fonts # are kept in subdirectories of /sys/lib/postscript/font. The files # are small, are generated quickly, and work well with page(1) and # lp(8), but since the Postscript versions of the TeX fonts are not # commonly installed elsewhere, they are not particularly good for # giving to friends or posting on web pages. # * The psfonts driver generates Postscript files with reference to # the Postscript versions of the TeX fonts, and also includes the # fonts in the Postscript file. The files are fairly large, generated # quickly, and are attractive when viewed in Postscript previewers or # turned into PDF via Acrobat Distiller. # * The bitmapfonts driver is equivalent to the default on most dvips # systems. Bitmap versions of the TeX fonts are included in the # output files, making them larger than `ps' but smaller than # `psfonts' files, slow to generate, and not particularly attractive # when viewed on screen. # #ADDING SUPPORT FOR OTHER LANGUAGES # #To add hyphenation patterns for other languages, do the following. # # * Uncomment the desired language patterns in # /sys/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat # # * Make new TeX fmt files: # #! 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. #
