Comments on: Installing IvriTex-1.2.1 on teTex-3.0 http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2007/02/16/installing-ivritex-121-on-tetex-30/ Keeping track of what I do Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:33:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Guy http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2007/02/16/installing-ivritex-121-on-tetex-30/comment-page-1/#comment-35 Guy Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:20:53 +0000 http://temp.sikumuna.com/2007/02/16/installing-ivritex-121-on-tetex-30/#comment-35 1. The major changes includes new directory structure and multiuser versions of updmap. You can find more information about what changed in: http://www.tug.org/tetex/tetex-texmfdist/doc/ under "What is new in 3.0?". 2. updmap enablesthe given map file. In old TeTeX releases this used to be done by manually editing files but this way is no longer recommended with TeTeX-3.0. There is a good chance the patch might not work with systems that aren't Gentoo as I've only tried it on my Gentoo machine. After reading http://listserv.tau.ac.il/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0702&L=ivritex&D=0&T=0&P=633 I pretty much dropped my interest of running ivritex on tetex-3.0 and and just used what I've managed to get working and on other machines just used the fonts packages. Reviewing my code again and the features on tetex-3.0 (which includes a newer version of babel which implements almost all of ivritex patches) I believe there is no advantage of running ivritex-1.2.1 on tetex-3.0 over running culmus-latex on tetex-3.0 or texlive-2007. 1.

Can you explain what exact was the change between tetex2 and 3? 2. I had tried to apply this patch, but I still can't get the result neither for CentOS nor for cygwin. I can work with "nikud" package but it can't David fonts. What exactly the problem. What are these updmap commands do. I just try to apply you instructions for different distros and it doesn't work... I need some understanding in order to fix the problem Artyom Guy,

Several questions:
1. Can you explain what exact was the change between tetex2 and 3?
2. I had tried to apply this patch, but I still can’t get the result neither
for CentOS nor for cygwin.

I can work with “nikud” package but it can’t David fonts.

What exactly the problem.
What are these updmap commands do.

I just try to apply you instructions for different distros and
it doesn’t work… I need some understanding in
order to fix the problem
