Not for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ touch texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kpsewhere fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kpsewhere --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf /home/rfstubne/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf I also don' think that it is surprising that setting TEXMF does not alter the texmf.cnf file found. AFAIK TEXMF is not used when looking for texmf.cnf. Instead a compile-time path is used for texmf.cnf and all other *.cnf files. cherio ralf PS: Congratulations to the new inhabitant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
