Thank you Henri.

I resolved the problem: texmacs looks for the pk version of ecrm10 on startup because freetype is not configured properly.

This font problem is related to your disk being
full, or either to a wrong set of permissions

should be able to compile the fonts.

strace would tell you more, in this respect (i.e.,
you would be able to see the write and/or open
operations which fail, and the path of the related
directories, as well).


My question is: does texmacs *really* need a pk version of ecrm10 or ecrm11? Can't it use the type1 (pfb) version of these fonts that exist on my system?


Menu entry:
Edit->Preferences->Printer->Font type->Type 1 only

But to do this, you must first be able to start TeXmacs once...
