The real problem (or feature) is that large parts of the texmf.cnf file relies on the magic variable $SELFAUTODIR which is set from argv[0] of the calling program. Very convenient as long as you place all programs in their standard location, but a problem otherwise. > That's why I advised to run strace; you can quite easily check whether > > * xdvi really opens /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf > * xdvi walks the desired fontpath (you can prepend a dummy > directory name like /URG/ to a particular path, to see if it > starts looking there). If you want to debug the Kpathsea file searching, I suggest using the $KPATHSEA_DEBUG variable instead, see 'info kpathsea'. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
