[MacPorts] #28890: Metafont in texlive +full port not compiled with X window support
#28890: Metafont in texlive +full port not compiled with X window support -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: s.t.smith@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: metafont mf X windows texlive | Port: texlive -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- The Metafont ("mf") binary in the texlive port does not come compiled with X windows support. For example, this basic mf command yields, {{{ $ mf '\mode=proof; \mag=900/2602; input cmex10' ; This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2010/MacPorts 2010_2) (/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/fonts/source/public/cm/cmex10.mf (/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/fonts/source/public/cm/cmbase.mf) (/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/fonts/source/public/cm/mathex.mf (/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/fonts/source/public/cm/bigdel.mf \big left parenthesis [0] mf: Window support for X was not compiled into this binary. mf: There may be a binary called `mfw' on your system which mf: does contain X window support. mf: If you need to recompile, remember to give the --with-x mf: option to configure mf: (Or perhaps you just failed to specify the mode.) . . . }}} Under Metafont's "proof" mode, an X window should pop up displaying the fonts as they are compiled. It is still possible to view the fonts after the fact using the gftodvi and dvipdf commands, but Metafont is not being compiled with X window support. This is using the macports texlive package installed with "sudo port install texlive +full". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28890> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

There are separate binaries in ${prefix}/libexec/texlive/binaries. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28890#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

"mft" is another program that converts Metafont code to TeX for prettyprinting. P.S. I'm a n00b, so I don't know how to cc the maintainer. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28890#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Your ls output confirms (the second part of) what I said. I realise there is no mfw, that's why I said "maybe there should be". The maintainer's address is included in the output of 'port info', just put it in the Cc field when you create the ticket. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28890#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

This should be easy enough to fix, but I'm trying to figure out why the texlive rules say that `mf` should use `mf-nowin` in the first place. There is no `mfw`; that error message is [http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-k/2010-July/002190.html obsolete] and will probably go away in the next texlive release. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28890#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
