texfont doesn't refresh MiKTeX database

texfont doesn't refresh MiKTeX database

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I use MikTeX. When I run texfont script, it always fails to do FNDB refresh at the end, saying

        generating : ls-r databases
        initexmf: This utility does not accept non-option arguments.

It seems like a bug in the script.

Hi, Vyatcheslav

I've heard that MiKTeX is not based on WEB2C, so some of its applications do
not behavior like the ones in TeXLive. If you only use MiKTeX, you can add "
-u" after initexmf in the script.

It's hard to say that it's a bug for we can't easily know which distribution
we are using through a .pl script. So for most people's sake, it adapt the
texlive usage.
