On the TeXShop homepage it says:
At the moment, we know of three important Apple bugs. All have been
reported to Apple.
The printer sometimes prints accented letters with the accent in the
wrong spot, even though the accent is shown correctly on the screen.
...
I have this problem (printing on a QMS 2060 over a network), but I would
like to report that the problem does not exist for pdf files created via
tex-dvi-ps-pdf. (Mac OSX 10.1.3, TeXShop 1.15, latest tetex/texlive.)
Strange, isn't it?
Joachim.

Is there a way to auto-refresh the PDF-view of iTeXMac after
typesetting? With TeXShop-beta this was fine, now it´s gone.

should not it be altpdflatex instead of altpdfLaTeX?
you should "menu" TeX:Show Project:Compile and enter the right command
in the text field
Then save as if it is a built in project

I will try this but the spelling of altpdfLATEX came from the output
log. It is not my spelling but iTeXMac's.
But thanks for your response.

This is an error of mine due to the ability of background pdf rendering.
The pdf is internally auto refreshed but the view is not. "Just" change
the page number or magnification
I will post an updated version within two days.

The command is called altpdflatex, just like pdftex is also all
lowercase.
It might be possible to run altPdFLatEx on a HFS+ file system when it is
called with a full path, because HFS+ is case preserving but not case
sensitive. I.e. /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-
current/altpdfLatEx.
However when you rely on unix shells, paths and so on, they are mostly
case sensiitive.

I think I have the same wrong setting:
'xterm': unknown terminal type [ so crashes texconfig ]
Error opening terminal: xterm [ so crash lynx & dselect ]
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional [ so warns less ]
can you explain your fix ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello TeX-on-Mac OS X world and Mac OS X Admin world,
Currently, I provide a TeX distribution (easy install) on an ftp-server
in The Netherlands. I am changing to a new mode of distribution and
because I use a tool developed in Cocoa and since the Cocoa class NSURL
does not support ftp:// yet, I need a http-server. Given that the new
mode of distribution will automate part of the upgrade process (and
split the installation in different chunks so that I can make
distributions and upgrades (much asked for) and given that the system
will have to know where to look for the upgrades, I need a location that
is stable. I also must be able to upload stuff to the location using
rsync (either to an rsyncd or sshd).
Who is willing to provide this for me?
(And if Apple reads this: an upgrade of the system such that NSURL
understands ftp would be a perfect solution).

xterm is an X11 program (I think) that I do not have (no X11 on my
ststems)

I do not know what xterm has to do with this. I run texconfig from a
Terminal.app window and I get a character-based interface (curses).
> can you explain your fix ?
My Terminal window was less that 80 characters wide at that point. That
made tcdialog crash instead of die gracefully.

How about asking apple to give you the space on http://homepage.mac.com?
Maybe you can get them to waive the fee for the increase in space.

Hallo Gerben,
zou je deze niet op de site van de NTG kwijt kunnen? (www.ntg.nl cq
ftp.ntg.nl) Ik geloof dat Piet van Oostrum beheerder is van de ftp
site.

Dat hangt er van af of ik actief kan uploaden (en daar zijn ze denk ik
terecht voorzichtig mee)
