Hi,<br><br>I think there is a misunderstanding here; I do know how to make pdftex search for files, and I am familiar with kpsewhich, etc. My question is rather: HOW do I tell pdftex to include additional mapfiles (beyond the default, system-wide pdftex.map). For comparison, for dvips I can add lines like "+lucida.map" to <a href="http://config.ps">config.ps</a>, but I do not know how to set this for pdflatex. Is there a personal configuration file for pdflatex? I search all of the documentation on <a href="http://pdftex.org">pdftex.org</a>, but just couldn't find it.<br>
<br>Thank you,<br><br>Erik<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Robin Fairbairns <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Robin.Fairbairns@cl.cam.ac.uk">Robin.Fairbairns@cl.cam.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>put them in your personal texmf tree, in directory fonts/map/pdftex/mymaps<br>
(or the like).<br>
<br>
then rebuild the file index for that tree (unless you've never had an<br>
index there in the past).<br>
<br>
consult your distribution documentation about where to put your personal<br>
texmf tree (or ask in a general tex forum, not pdftex)<br>
