I don't think my files work enough to get to that section of texutil (I added some print statements around the patch and don't see any output). Now I have a problem with texfont, which reports: processing aborted: unknown tex root c:/program I applied the same recipe as in texutil: chop($fontroot); $fontroot = "\"$fontroot\"" if ($fontroot =~ m/^[^\"].* / ? "\"" : "") ; but now I get: processing aborted: unknown tex root "c:/program files/texlive/texmf-local" This is starting to look like too much work. We are supposed to move from Win98 to WinXP "real soon now". Are these problems also present for WinXP? For myself, *n*x works, but some groups rely on Adobe Illustrator + Photoshop and understandably are reluctant to give up Win32. -- George White 189 Parklea Dr., Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia B3Z 2G6
