One solution that works is to set TEXMFCNF to one of your directories, i.e setenv TEXMFCNF $HOME/texmf/web2c and then copy 'texmf.cnf' to $HOME/texmf/web2c. Edit 'texmf.cnf' to reflect where you want the WEB2C files - your formats and config files (in your case 'fmtutil.cnf' and new formats) - to be. For example change the definitin of WEB2C (in 'texmf.cnf') to: WEB2C = $HOME/texmf/web2c:$TEXMF/web2c With this definition your directory will be search first and then the global directory. In this way you can create your own formats but still use the other global formats and so on... I might have gotten something wrong here, but I shouldn't be far off. Hans PS! Be aware that this solution is dangerous since you will not notice if the global configuration changes... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Fredrik Nordhaug, | web: www.mi.uib.no/~hansfn Ph.D. student at | phone: (+47) 55 58 48 79 Department of Mathematics, | fax: (+47) 55 58 96 72 University of Bergen | e-mail: hansfn@mi.uib.no 5008 Bergen, Norway | icq: 74265696 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
