sane-backends had font generation disabled, but I changed it to the VARTEXFONTS method for now. Wouldn't it be better to populate this temporary directory with links to existing cached fonts or something like this? I don't know much about latex internals, but computing the fonts always because one _might_ be written sounds like a bad idea. Bye, Patrick
