[ Putting newly made fonts into /tmp instead of the global directory ] > It is difficult to find a good reason :-), but I can improve my > script to filter really bogus fonts: > if pktype $f >/dev/null; then > mv $f /usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/ > else > rm -f $f > fi > Of course this does not prevent users to eg. replace cmr9.300pk with > cmti12.622pk but the script can still be improved :-) The issue I was trying to raise that by putting them in the global directory by default it doesn't require any additions beyond installing the software, while using /tmp requires that the user patch /etc/daily which is not as pretty, especially if the user wants to remove the packages. Would you consider changing the default behavior to put fonts into the global directory to make the entire package easier to install/un-install? Nate
