texfont invocation

texfont invocation

[Axel Zindler]

Hi all,

I tried to use texfont since I fetched the latest cont-tmf.zip from ntg.nl 
yesterday.
After updating the tetex-ditribution I could run texexec successfully, but 
with texfont I got the following error message:

> texfont --help
> Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/bin/texfont line 161, near "$str 
unless"
> Execution of /usr/bin/texfont aborted due to compilation errors.

The perl version I use is 
> 5.005_03 built for i586-linux
and I'm running a suse-linux 7.0 system.

Does anybody know, what's wrong there?

Thanks in advance

I bilieve this is fixed in the very last beta; until you upgrade, you can change 
the line 161 of your texfont.pl to

  { my $str = shift ; mkdir $str, 755 unless -d $str }

this patch is added to the latest [maybe not yet public] version of texfont,
