Dear Constantin,
I'll cc my answer to the texmacs-users mailing list, as other people
might have the same problem, or a better answer.
It is by chance that yesterday I found out that there is a program like
TeXmacs (I am using Emacs all the time). I installed the newest version
from the GNU web-page. The installation and everything went smoothly.
TeXmacs is also available via Cygwin's installer setup.exe. The current
version 1.0.6 should be available within 48h. Meanwhile it can be
installed from my "private" package repository. Please see
http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/texmacs/tmtour.html#2 for installation
instructions.
If "texmacs --version" does not give you 1.0.6, then you should upgrade to
this version. Anyway I recommend to use setup.exe for installation, as
this will ensure that you have all required packages. The list of required
packages can be found also under
http://andreasseidl.com/cygwin/release/TeXmacs/setup.hint .
The problem is that each time I am running the program TeXmacs
regenerates the missing fonts and this is very annoying.
I've installed the 1.0.6 version on a fresh Cygwin installation, and
displayed the user manual. Some .pk files and some .tfm files were
generated. After closing and restarting TeXmacs no fonts were regenerated.
(There are some locatedb errors though.) So I cannot reproduce your
problem.
I followed the instructions from the Web to install fonts in ~/.TeXmacs
but this problem continued to persist. Any input as to what should I do
to change this behaviour is welcome since I really want to try this
program. Should I change something within the environment variables, or
set up new ones in order to tell the system where to look for the
missing fonts?
I've never needed to install these fonts myself. Maybe someone else has an
idea.
Best Regards,
Andreas
