Hi all;
I need to generate the xelatex.fmt file. Apparently Fedora doesn't create
these files. It is not a new issue, I have had issues with the latex.fmt
files not created in the past.
Is there any way to manually create this file?
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

TeX Live comes with a utility, fmtutil-sys. It allows to create FMT files for
the *system*. Private FMT files can be created with fmtutil. The former is kind
of a wrapper for the latter, so the only
There are two ways to create xelatex.fmt:

What does this accomplish that "xetex -ini -etex xelatex.ini" does not ?

I did not follow the thread closely. Are you the administrator of the
system? If so, I'd advise to de-install fedora's TeX-suite and install
texlive instead. That

Hi.
I appear to have solved this by running xelatex -ini manually and then
copying the ..fmt file to the appropriate directory.
Thanks for everyone's help.
As a note, I am really restricted to supporting TexLive versions that
ship on stable long-term-support (and supported) distros

I don't know what "tr" is, but this comes back to one of my original
problems; and that is, I don't have a map. Does anyone know of a

You can try digging in the source for Tong Wen Tang (a Firefox
extension). Or email its developers. They should have a map and
additional notes on the conversion.
