What's the difference between teTeX and regular TeX? I've never heard of teTeX until you mentioned it, and the ports description isn't terribly helpful. > * Install it.

That's probably someone's configuration for a latex with a larger "pool" size. I haven't encountered problems with using the standard latex (yet). > 2. It references dsssl.def and isoents.tex. I don't know where > they come from. Those are built into jadetex.dtx; they're generated when you "make". My hurdles are just getting the "make" to run cleanly. I've had to fetch the latex AMS fonts package and the latex Graphics package so far. And ulem.sty. And OT2enc.def, but renamed to ot2enc.def. And the ec metafont package. And fancyhdr.sty. And yet more! Blech. (Maybe all those are built into teTeX?) Maybe a better place to get jadetex is from the CTAN's /tex-archive/macros/jadetex directory, which includes a directory "cooked" which seems to have all the stuff I'm missing. Finally, it fails to build not finding a language.dat file for French. Merde. I think I'll throw in the towel for now and try again tomorrow with teTeX. :-( Sometimes, I genuinely hate TeX. --Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
