According to Sean Kelly: > What's the difference between teTeX and regular TeX? I've never heard > of teTeX until you mentioned it, and the ports description isn't > terribly helpful. teTeX is, in Linux terms, a TeX/LaTeX/PDFTeX/AMSTeX distribution. It has the huge advantage to be buildable very cleanly. You get everything you may want from a TeX installation (formats, packages, fonts) in a TDS-compliant package. You don't have to fetch packages manually, complie web2c then generate formats, everything is done automatically. Very easy. I'd say that teTeX is the FreeBSD's way of doing TeX :) > Finally, it fails to build not finding a language.dat file for French. > Merde. Weird. I use an early snapshot of teTeX 0.9 (9809xx something) and I was able to put French language into it. Check out teTeX-beta in the ports. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Nov 8 01:22:20 CET 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
