texfont "unknown tex root" error?

texfont "unknown tex root" error?

[Bruce D'Arcus]

Another quick question:

I just tried to run the batchfile that sets up the standard tetex free 
fonts, but got an "unknown tex root" error.  What does this mean, and 
how do I fix it?  I specified the correct texmf path for the fonts...

Hi Bruce,

I was getting the same thing, and I think it is because the perl script 
depends on find the environmental variables, especially TEXMF, and does not 
look at kpathsea. Try exporting (if you are on linux):

export TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf

or whatever your TeX root is. This should allow the script to continue...

HTH,

Glenn
