It seems to me there is something strange. After having discarded the texlive 2009 (I erased /usr/local/texlive/ 2009), I downloaded MacTeX-2009 pretest (v. october 22) and reinstalled from scratch. Then I tried to update with tlmgr from http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/ and tlmgr update --self was ok. The following command tlmgr update --all gives me the usual error sh-3.2# tlmgr update --all tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/ /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/installer/xz/xzdec.universal-darwin: (stdin): File format not recognized First directive needs to be 'name', not at /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line 123, line 1. Trying again tlmgr update --self gives now the same error. So it seems that the tlmgr auto-update on the mac (at least on mine...) installs some corrupted file. I tried also to reinstall the TexLive Manager in TLU with no success. This is the log: 2009-10-31 22:37:09 +0100 Notice -[TLMMainWindowController updateInfrastructure:][10709] Beginning user-requested infrastructure update? 2009-10-31 22:37:09 +0100 Notice -[TLMMainWindowController _updateAllPackages][10709] Beginning infrastructure update from http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/ 2009-10-31 22:37:09 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation _synchronouslyDownloadURL:toPath:][10709] Downloading URL: http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh 2009-10-31 22:37:09 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:][10709] Download redirected to http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh, expecting 0 bytes. 2009-10-31 22:37:09 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveResponse:][10709] Will download 2483938 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:12 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveDataOfLength:][10709] Received 20% of 2483938 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:14 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveDataOfLength:][10709] Received 40% of 2483938 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:16 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveDataOfLength:][10709] Received 61% of 2483938 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:18 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveDataOfLength:][10709] Received 82% of 2483938 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation downloadDidFinish:][10709] Download of 2483938 bytes complete 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation _downloadUpdateScript][10709] First line of downloaded file is: "#!/ bin/sh"?good! 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation _synchronouslyDownloadURL:toPath:][10709] Downloading URL: http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh.sha256 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:][10709] Download redirected to http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh.sha256, expecting 0 bytes. 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveResponse:][10709] Will download 89 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation download:didReceiveDataOfLength:][10709] Received 100% of 89 bytes? 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation downloadDidFinish:][10709] Download of 89 bytes complete 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMInfraUpdateOperation _downloadAndCheckHash][10709] SHA256 signature looks okay 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation main][10709] Checking code signature before running tlmgr_cwrapper as root? 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice /usr/bin/codesign[10709] / Applications/TeX/TeX Live Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/tlmgr_cwrapper: valid on disk 2009-10-31 22:37:20 +0100 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation main][10709] Signature was valid, okay to run tlmgr_cwrapper 2009-10-31 22:37:25 +0100 Error tlmgr_cwrapper[11049] dropped privileges to user nobody 2009-10-31 22:37:26 +0100 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation setWrapperPID:][10709] tlmgr_cwrapper checking in: tlmgr_cwrapper pid = 11049 2009-10-31 22:37:27 +0100 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation setUnderlyingPID:][10709] tlmgr_cwrapper checking in: pid = 11050 (/ var/folders/hE/hE4OJfIGH+awdkSfvy-g7U+++TI/-Tmp-/ TLMInfraUpdateOperation.K2BxSN/update-tlmgr-latest.sh --nox11) 2009-10-31 22:37:27 +0100 Error tlmgr_cwrapper[11049] tlmgr_cwrapper: child HOME = '/var/root' 2009-10-31 22:37:27 +0100 Error tlmgr_cwrapper[11049] tlmgr_cwrapper: current HOME = '/var/empty' 2009-10-31 22:37:27 +0100 Notice tlmgr_cwrapper[11049] Verifying archive integrity...

I just updated mine here: $ tlmgr --version tlmgr revision 15761 (2009-10-11 10:00:42 +0200) tlmgr using installation: /usr/local/texlive/2009 TeX Live (http://tug.org/texlive) version 2009 /usr/texbin/tlmgr --machine-readable --repository http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet/ update --list runs with no problems (this is what TLU uses).

Good Luck, Herb Schulz (herbs at wideopenwest dot com) From vic at norton.name Sun Nov 1 17:31:16 2009 From: vic at norton.name (Vic Norton) Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2009 11:31:16 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] A \url problem Message-ID: I am having a \url problem (with TeXShop/LaTeX) that is driving me crazy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My problem can be illustrated with two parboxes, each containing the same URL. \parbox{6.0in}{\url{ http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv }} \parbox{5.0in}{\url{ http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv }} The first parbox typesets the URL on one line. Clicking on this line opens a browser and displays the desired URL. The second parbox typesets the URL on two lines: http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ price_distrib.csv Both lines are colored to indicate an active link, and the cursor changes to a pointing finger when it is over either line. However, when you hold the cursor over the first line, you see that it is pointing at the directory http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ which (on clicking the line) will not allow itself to be listed. The second line price_distrib.csv points nowhere and goes nowhere, even though appears to be a link. I can't figure out what the problem is here. There are broken URLs in my bibliography that work fine, but the 5-inch parbox one doesn't work at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That way I don't think the url is broken, although text itself can be broken. Note that this is (breaking links across lines) is only supported with pdflatex, not tex +ghostscript.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. I've decided to go with \begin{minipage}{6.0in} \url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ pricedistrib.csv} \end{minipage} which doesn't split the URL and looks pretty good. I have noticed a curious behavior with \begin{minipage}{5.0in} \url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ pricedistrib.csv} \end{minipage} This typesets as http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ pricedistrib.csv When you put the cursor over the text in the first line, you are pointing at http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ but, when you move the cursor just to the right of the text, you start pointing at the correct URL http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv Finally, when you put the cursor over the text in the second line, you are again pointing at http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv Regards, Vic From ross at ics.mq.edu.au Sun Nov 1 21:02:26 2009 From: ross at ics.mq.edu.au (Ross Moore) Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 07:02:26 +1100 Subject: [OS X TeX] A \url problem In-Reply-To: <0C54027F-58C8-489D-9248-B4732821FAB9@norton.name> References: <1A59EB9A-3260-47D1-BC38-502938BCA753@xs4all.nl> <0C54027F-58C8-489D-9248-B4732821FAB9@norton.name> Message-ID: <39F68E10-A80E-4A16-AD81-67D046347E6E@maths.mq.edu.au> Hello Vic, and others.

So what packages *are* you loading? Is it just url.sty ? Or something else as well, or instead.

A better way is to declare any long URLs within the document preamble. viz. \usepackage{url} \urldef\pricedistURL\url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/ notionportf/pricedistrib.csv} \urldef .... other URL definitions ... ... \usepackage{hyperref} Note that hyperref must be loaded *after* uses of \urldef...\url{....} since it changes the definition of \url . Now all of the following should work properly: \url{\pricedistURL} \parbox{5.0in}{\url{\pricedistURL}} \parbox{6.0in}{\url{\pricedistURL}} \begin{minipage}{5.0in} \url{\pricedistURL} \end{minipage} etc. > > When you put the cursor over the text in the first line, you are > pointing at > http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ Aaah, This is due to the extra space character at the beginning, which acts as a separator. http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ This your \baseurl setting, right? > but, when you move the cursor just to the right of the text, you > start pointing at the correct URL > http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv This is what you want, but it occurs only after that initial space has been included as part of a URL. > Finally, when you put the cursor over the text in the second line, > you are again pointing at > http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv You have to be very careful with using \url directly, since it adjusts the \catcode of many characters. But this cannot happen when the {\url{....}} is within the argument of other commands. The inconsistency of results can be very confusing.

I'm sorry, Ross. I should have sent a complete test script. OK, here it is, both ways: with \urldef\pricedistURL\url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/ notionportf/pricedistrib.csv} and without. Same problem either way. (But \url{\pricedistURL} does not work for me.) Again the two-line 5.0in-outputs point to http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ when the cursor is over the text of the fist line, but point to http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv when the cursor is just past the text of the first line or over the text of the second line.

So I commented that out, and all was fine. % use Lucida fonts for both text and math. %\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidabr} % get larger bullet %\DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{hlh}{1} % including \oldstylenums Not sure why Lucida didn't want to work for me, as I have used it before --- years ago probably! Anyway, would you run your test file without Lucida, to see whether that is the complete cause of the URL woes? BTW, also add \listfiles anywhere in the preamble.

When I ran TLU, I got the same kind of problem others have seen using the above command, viz. $ tlmgr --machine-readable --repository http:ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/ tlnet update --listg location-url http:ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet tlmgr: package repository http:ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet Cannot load TeX Live database from http:ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/tlnet at / usr/texbin/tlmgr line 3919. 'tlmgr' is the version you have (above). After fooling around with a bunch of alternate mirrors, I clicked on the mirror URL at the bottom of the TLU pane. It took me to a website showing only the 2008 TL directory. I tried a number of mirrors, and all showed the same thing. Then I got a link from the TeX Live mirmon site, and pasted that into the prefs window. From there, things seem to be going swimmingly. Or, at least, going. Is this a Catch-22 or a Chicken/Egg thing?

(I use this particular shortcut to put a graphics parallel with some text in a beamer presentation.) After inserting the number (of millimeters), hitting the TAB key takes me to the first bullet (OPT+8), the next TAB puts the insertion point at the next bullet, and so on. This has worked fine on my old TI PowerBook under Tiger, but it does not work anymore on MacBook under Leopard. After a while I realized that all this worked due to a small application, actually a PreferencePane, called TextMacro. Trying to run it on the MacBook under Leopard I got "You cannot open TextMacro preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac". I have contacted the author Mikael Langer, and he explained to me that as of OSX 10.5 Apple has blocked the mechanism that makes TextMacro work. My question is: Does anyone know any substitute/replacement for TextMacro or something similar? Would it be possible to implement such a thing in TeXShop (e.g. like #INS# and #RET#)? What I currently do is to put the bullet into the search field in the Find window and keep hitting CMD+G. I would appreciate any help.

You can add each one, separately, to your Macros Menu using the Macros->Open Macro Editor... and adding a new macro for each one.

Whatever. In any case, it puzzled me: I had certainly downloaded and installed TexLive-2008, and selected that in the Tex Distribution Utility panel in System Preferences. But of course Herb was right: TeXShop WAS using old gwTeX. I finally figured out that I had put the path to gwTeX in TeXShop, and that's what was happening. Once I fixed that, the little sample file with a URL and some \texttt text ran fine. But getting the right TeX version only moved the issue along a bit. My real problem comes from the fact that when writing letters on Yale letterhead, I want to use an internal Yale-designed font ("YaleAdmin"). This has always worked fine for me before with XeTeX. It works fine now in Mac applications like MIcro$oft Word. But when I invoke it in an XeTeX document, it aborts the whole process.

I can't determine from this what the invalid font is.... I've been at this with FontBook, and then Linotype Font Explorer (latest version). I've replaced the font (identified at PostScript (Type 1)), scrubbed duplicates, cleaned the font cache and restarted, and nothing seems to work. As I say, this font worked fine in Leopard (even though I was unknowingly still using gwTeX!), but no more.

I attached the PDF that has the links. You should be able to see everything there, where the URLs are pointing, etc. I am simply trying to indent a long URL that has to break.

Only the bottom line works the way it should. On the other hand clicking anyplace on the ``hello'' link below works perfectly.

I also downloaded and installed TexLive-2009, hoping that would solve my other problem (it didn't). But now I discover a new problem. I have some other fonts (Adobe Garamond, most notably) that aren't in the TeX distribution and that I use all the time. I installed them long ago, and thus all of the relevant support files for LaTeX use are on the machine. But they are in /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/fonts/, and when TeXLive200[89] got installed, a directory /usr/local/texlive/ texmf.local/fonts/ was created, but my font files from gwTeX weren't put there and the relevant fonts weren't enabled. I have been protected from this knowledge by the mistake that led me to go on using gwTeX even after I thought I had switched..... I know this is an incredibly tedious question that has been asked (and answered) many times, but could some kind soul take the time to answer it again for me? How do I go about getting the same local font functionality in TeXLive that I had in gwTeX? Since the internal structure of the texmf.local/fonts directory seems to be different from that in the old one, and in any case I don't remember the magical incantations to make things work after this directly is properly populated, I need help.

I'd like to know the answer too, so I thought I'd ask here. The short question is: How do you break the linkback link between LaTeXiT and a pdf and reset LaTeXiT so that it creates a new pdf rather than modifies an existing pdf? Longer: If I drop a pdf made with LaTeXiT onto Omnigraffle, I can establish a linkback connection by double-clicking the pdf. That's great if I later want to change the pdf. However, if I accidentally double-click (for example) the linkback link prevents me from making new pdfs because any changes I make in LaTeXiT change the first pdf. How do I break the connection and let LaTeXiT know I want to create a new pdf rather than modify an existing pdf? Alternatively, how do I disable linkback altogether?

The url is where I want to go, namely url = http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv The text is what I want the reader to click on. It needn't have any relation to the url. The text in both cases is from the ttfamily. In the second case the text is text = hello ... hello (16 times in all) This case works just as it should. In the first case the text is text = http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/\linebreak pricedistrib.csv The fact that that the text is broken in this case should have no affect on the url part of \href{url}{text}. But it does affect the url part. It corrupts it. I have no idea why. More importantly, I have no idea how to do what I want to do: to indent a long URL and split it where I want to split it (after /'s), with the each line of the result being indented by the same amount, and every point of the displayed, split URL pointing to the original, long URL.

A URL is meant to provide the location of a resource and a mechanism for retrieving that resource. A hyper-reference is meant to link content across resources, but that doesn't mean that the end user necessarily has to know what a URL is or its ontology. If you need the functionality of a hyper-reference, then the text should ideally be something that makes sense in real language, not a URL, as URLs are contrived not for the benefit of the reader, but for the browser. You seem to be using hyper-reference functionality when you really simply want to indicate to someone "this is the URL you would type in your browser should you desire to see this content." In the early 90s I remember a lot of web pages with hyper-refs that were way to literal: "In order to see today's discounts >Click here!<" It seemed that people didn't understand that the browser had a mechanism (by coloring, underlining, etc) to indicate "Click here" and that what the designer really wanted to say was "Today's Discounts!" The least useful thing from the perspective of many users would have to be "In order to see today's discounts, type http://example.com/discounts/today.cgi into your browser's location field and type return!" I can see the usefulness of having an explicitly stated URL if the document is destined for print, so that the electronic resource can be tracked down, which I gather is what you are trying to do. I think Peter may be right, in that URLs are not meant to break, but I'm sure MLA or some other organization has there own thoughts on such matters. This brings up another matter --- should URLs at the end of a sentence be followed by punctuation? > On Nov 3, 2009, at 11:47 AM, Peter Dyballa wrote: > >> >> Am 03.11.2009 um 16:42 schrieb Vic Norton: >> >>> I am simply trying to indent a long URL that has to break.

I've had several hard drive failures in the past (before I started keeping a reliable backup), and reinstalling the MathTime Pro fonts made my head spin every time. Luckily you seem to have put the fonts in the right branch, or else the next TeXLive release would have us scratching our heads again.

Quitting an re-starting LaTeXiT does break the link, yes. I guess my question is whether there's something short of quitting and restarting LaTeXiT that will break the link. Closing the LaTeXiT window and opening a new one also works.

The major change between the older teTeX structure and the TeX Live structure is that map files are no longer in .../dvips/ but will go into the /usr/local/texlive/2009/ texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/ folder. Any .fd and .sty files for the fonts will go into /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-local/tex/latex/ folder, or sub-folders thereof. Once the files are in their proper place run sudo mktexlsr (or sudo texhash) which will let TeX ``know'' the new files exist and where to find them. Then you have to let drivers ``know'' where to find the map files by running sudo updmap-sys --enable Map mymap.map for each of the map files (substitute the correct name for mymap.map above) you have moved.

I am writing you to see if some of you share these concerns, or if I should rather blame them to some idiosyncrasies of my computer. - The most annoying issue is the tendency to crash very, very often. In fact, I have never had a single piece of Mac software that crashes with such a frequency; a frequency that I used to think was only likely to be found on Windows machines. TeXShop tends to crash with particular likelihood: - When doing some copy and paste job - When scrolling up and down, especially during copy/paste - When asking to "sync" the tex and the pdf windows - When doing a find/replace job - In general, when some particularly intensive task is required, maybe coupled or followed by another intensive task. - The other issue is the position of the windows on opening. I know there is an option on "Preferences > Source" which allows to choose the Source window position ("Remember last position on close"/"All windows start at fixed position") but whatever I choose is absolutely without consequences. Whether or not this works is an absolute matter of chance. Sometimes I manage to get it right as I want it (source window on the top left of the screen, parallel to but not overlapping with the preview window) but over time the source window tends to migrate rightwards, and overlap with the preview window. - Finally, there are some occasional bugs. Right now, the macro "Offsets > Quote" did not work, nothing would happen when I select it. Quitting and relaunching TeXShop helped this time. But, come on: this is not what you expect from a piece of Mac software. On top of that, if it's an old and well-tested software which I had been enjoying very much until recently, and not some beta version. Is anyone experiencing similar problems?

I think David Watson has written a splendid explanation. I can add this remark: if you break an URL you get another, most likely invalid URL, and the remainder of the previous and formerly working URL. Some eMail list software does this regularly. And I can add an example which hopefully works (not tested): % begin of a text body \href{mailto:vic at norton.name}{Folks, if you never ever tried to donate something good for an at least good man, start doing so now! Click here around. I mean it. \textbf{\itshape Really.}} (Is it constantly flashing for you?) Some, actually most of you, will receive an instant response. You'll receive a report about an overfull mailbox. It will prove to you how efficient your live can be. And those of who are not manually handicapped and have a well- working mouse or trackpad can easily access our big sponsor's work of live from here \href{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ pricedistrib.csv}{.} % end of a possible text body with two URLs -- Greetings Pete Behold the warranty ... the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

What OS version, TeXShop version and TeX distribution are you using? E.g., the default sync that recent versions of TeXShop use is syncTeX and versions of TeXshop previous to TeX Live 2008 can't provide that information so you experience more problems than necessary if you set up recent TeXShop versions correctly. I have never experienced problems with fixed window positions. I'd like to know how folks are setting those positions. It might be that your preferences are messed up; try removing your TeXShop Preference File, ~/Library/Preferences/TeXShop.plist, and restarting TeXshop and resetting the default configuration. I've experienced Macros not working and that is usually because of an OS Update and the Applescript has changed.

I should have added that: - My TeXShop is v. 2.26 - My TeX distribution is TexLive-2008 - My MacOS is 10.5.8 Regarding the window setting: imagine I start with the (annoying case) source window partly overlapping the preview window. What I do then, is I move the source window to the left to avoid the overlapping. Now I go to "Preferences > Source" and select "Remember last position on close", I quit TeXShop, relaunch again, and there: the source window is moved to the right again. Same if I now move the source window to the left, go to Preferences, select "All windows start at fixed position", click on set with current position, quit TexShop, launch again. The source window is still there, way too far on the right for my taste. I'll try removing the TeXShop Preference files.

As for getting a nice line-break in the anchor text of a URL, try the following, based upon your example. >>> I'd like to put the URL below this statement, but indented a bit. >>> Unfortunately the URL splits in an ugly way, and it no longer works >>> properly. The top goes nowhere; only the ``cvs'' part takes you >>> where >>> you are supposed to go.\\ >>> \hspace*{4.0ex}{\hspace*{4.0ex}\vtop{\advance\hsize by -3.6cm >>> \url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ >>> pricedistrib.csv}} The point is that you are trying to do two things here: 1. have the URL split at a good place; 2. stop the URL from being formatted as part of the paragraph, but have its own indentation after the break. Point 2. is achieved by putting the URL inside a \vtop box. But if you do this, you need to set the width of this box. That is the purpose of the \advance\hsize by -3.6cm . You may have to fiddle with the amount to achieve the correct breaking, in any given instance. Using \href the following should also work: >>> Unfortunately the URL splits in an ugly way, and it no longer works >>> properly. The top goes nowhere; only the ``cvs'' part takes you >>> where >>> you are supposed to go.\\ >>> \hspace*{4.0ex}\href{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/ >>> notionportf/pricedistrib.csv}% >>> {\ttfamily http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/\newline >>> \hspace*{4.0ex}pricedistrib.csv} This doesn't use a \vtop box, but then you have to explicitly force the indent after the break. If either of these doesn't work for you then there must be a problem with some part of hyperref or url.sty on your TeX installation. I've had it working with: url.sty 2006/04/12 ver 3.3 Verb mode for urls, etc. hyperref.sty 2009/10/31 v6.79d Hypertext links for LaTeX and with url.sty 2006/04/12 ver 3.3 Verb mode for urls, etc. hyperref.sty 2008/09/27 v6.78k Hypertext links for LaTeX Hope this helps, Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross Moore ross at maths.mq.edu.au Mathematics Department office: E7A-419 Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From ross at ics.mq.edu.au Wed Nov 4 07:13:05 2009 From: ross at ics.mq.edu.au (Ross Moore) Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 17:13:05 +1100 Subject: [OS X TeX] How about just shortening the URL?

It does indeed. The approach suggested, but not forced, with LaTeX2HTML was to use \htmladdnormallinkfoot which would insert the URL in a footnote. This way you don't interrupt the flow of text within a paragraph, and you get a reduced font size, as well as a full page-width to set long URLs. Even if it still needs to break, then the 2nd line doesn't look wrong when not indented like the first, since the difference is very slight (width of the footnote marker). Also there is no paragraph text to look bad against. > > -- > Greetings > > Pete > > These are my principles and if you don't like them... well, I have > others. > - Groucho Marx Hope this helps, Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross Moore ross at maths.mq.edu.au Mathematics Department office: E7A-419 Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From ross at ics.mq.edu.au Wed Nov 4 07:22:58 2009 From: ross at ics.mq.edu.au (Ross Moore) Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 17:22:58 +1100 Subject: [OS X TeX] A \url problem In-Reply-To: <35DAFBC2-7A70-4B0C-8AE5-B17801F173AC@maths.mq.edu.au> References: <1A59EB9A-3260-47D1-BC38-502938BCA753@xs4all.nl> <0C54027F-58C8-489D-9248-B4732821FAB9@norton.name> <39F68E10-A80E-4A16-AD81-67D046347E6E@maths.mq.edu.au> <14B5816C-ADBD-43E4-A4EF-E53B05CAF50C@norton.name> <531B1662-D98A-483D-9E97-8F7C1106F8D5@norton.name> <3A3233E3-A177-4C0B-9D03-D31396866D8B@Web.DE> <7C895637-1E5D-457F-91C1-9AE9E280872C@norton.name> <35DAFBC2-7A70-4B0C-8AE5-B17801F173AC@maths.mq.edu.au> Message-ID: Hi Victor, On 04/11/2009, at 4:06 PM, Ross Moore wrote: >>>> I'd like to put the URL below this statement, but indented a bit. >>>> Unfortunately the URL splits in an ugly way, and it no longer works >>>> properly.

What steps do I need to take to make it work in TeXShop? What output format was chosen in TeXShop? DVI again? This sounds as if either the (possible) conversion from DVI to PDF (TeXShop can only display PDF and needs to convert DVI or PS to PDF first) went wrong or that the direct creation of the non-DVI output failed. Both can happen due to incorrect MAP files ? but this is rather unlikely since you certainly ran 'sudo updmap-sys ...' So the fault can be that you are using an old and buggy version of the pdfTeX programme which interferes with the font caching mechanism in Mac OS X. Described here: http://www.tug.org/mactex/fix-font-cache- bug.

I use latexit (1.16.0) with keynote (4.0.4) and this works differently for me than what you describe: 1. To link back I have to select the graphic and use the menu Edit/ Edit in latexit. Double-clicking the pdf doesn't work (would be nice). 2. After I link back, I can create a new pdf by going to latexit and opening a new window, as Herb suggested. No need to quit.

Given the amount of time and effort required to produce a movie it may not be any time soon that 'experts' will be able to do this for you. So why not have a crack yourself? So far as photoshop tutorials are concerned, that program has significantly more features than TeXShop and a much larger user base. It is therefore more likely that you will see such things distributed. Also, there is a culture of sharing techniques in various publications in the graphics field (see the number of books, magazines, etc. that are published with tips and techniques) and this has extended into online media such as YouTube et al. That seems to be less the case with the TeX world where sharing of ideas comes mainly in the form of newsgroups, user groups, mailing lists, how-to's, etc. Different way of seeing the world I guess.

If the synctex.gz file isn't being produced when you compile your document make sure that TeXShop->Preferences->Typesetting->Sync Method is NOT set to SyncTeX. On the other hand, since you are using MacTeX 2008 (NOT true for MacTeX 2007!!!) you can set up your engines to produce the synctex.gz file. 1)Add the option --synctex=1 to the end of the TeXShop- >Preferences->Engine->pdfTeX options (e.g., I use pdflatex --shell-escape --synctex=1 for the Latex value --- note space between options). For TeXShop- >Preferences->Engine->TeX+dvips+distiller->Latex I add --extratexopts "-synctex=1" (again, a space on each side) while the TeX value has to change (the origina tex engine can't be changed) to something like simpdftex etex --extradvipsopts "-R0" --extratexopts "-synctex=1" -- distiller ps2pdf14 to do the job. (Of course, if you never use Plain TeX don't worry about those options.) I add the option -synctex=1 (with a space ...) to the command lines in the xelatex and xetex engine files. If you use the latest latexmk engines the synctex option should already be set.

Sorry if this is a silly question - but did you remember to reinstall the sagetex package in sage after updating it? It is not part of sage by default and needs installing separately.

Then you're luckier than me! But I also have font libraries defined in Font Book. They keep TTF and OTF fonts from TeX Live/MacTeX or Java or Adobe products. This does not solve your problem, maybe using for example Adobe Reader or such you can find out which fonts your document actually uses. Minimal examples with only text or only maths and all with \thispagestyle{empty} might give some hints ? maybe you're using bitmapped PK fonts? -- Greetings Pete Wasting time is an important part of living.

No URL is visible to the user, and it doesnt matter if the URL is long or short or human readable. That is your assumption, and my case (a). My case (b) assumes there is no electronic access. For papers published in journals or conference proceedings or a book, many readers will have only paper copy and will have to type the URL into a browser. In that case I think the reader would strongly prefer a short URL even if contextual info is lost. Maybe case (b) will go away sooner or later. Let's hope so. -dave David Messerschmitt Roger Strauch Professor Emeritus Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of Californa at Berkeley and Visiting Professor Helsinki University of Technology Software Business Laboratory and Visiting Researcher SETI Institute -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In fact, it makes no difference whether you put a URL inline or in a list of references or in an appendix or in a footnote. A URL always references a ressource on the web in a given path, and hiding it behind a tinyurl would be like referring to an author not by his real name, but by his pseudonym that hardly anyone knows. I.e., it would not make much sense to me. What you could do, of course, is citing URLs inline by short references only, such as "[URL:1]" etc. But that would not be a shortened URL ...

All the old style PostScript fonts I met up with came in two parts---a LWFN containing the PostScript code in a resource fork, and a bitmap (often in a suitcase) whose essential information was the metrics for the font. There were several Classic applications that were able to take the pair and transmute them to formats such as pfb, which I believe are understood by xdv2pdf. (Eg, in the CMacTeX distribution, lwfn2pfb.) I haven't checked whether the CMacTeX OS X versions can do this. If not, sheepshaver may be useful.

The following article describes what Office 2008 does when it installs fonts: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948736 It stores all the newer and better fonts in a new directory /Library/ Fonts/Microsoft. That directory is the source of all or most of the duplicates seen in Font Book. So I moved that whole Microsoft directory out of /Library/Fonts, and this seems to have resolved the issue with Texshop. Also, Word does not seem harmed, and indeed the MS installer offers the option to not install those newer and better fonts so they must not be essential. Also note that the /Library/Fonts Disabled directory was created by the Microsoft installer, not Font Book. So the question remains why Texshop is adversely affected by this / Library/Fonts/Microsoft directory, but not Apple Preview and Adobe Reader. That is one for the Texshop developers. -dave David Messerschmitt Roger Strauch Professor Emeritus Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of Californa at Berkeley and Visiting Professor Helsinki University of Technology Software Business Laboratory and Visiting Researcher SETI Institute -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's a bit strange that TeXShop shows a behaviour which Preview does not show. Both are based on the same frameworks Apple delivers with Mac OS X. Maybe it's chance that pollutes the application. The applications seem to take the glyphs they are displaying from a font cache. I don't know how it works, how it can happen that obviously glyphs from different fonts can be mixed up since every font used has a unique identifier and a cache is an organised heap. Skim is also based on these Apple frameworks. Adobe products use their own software routines. The PDF displayer of TeXworks uses a Public Domain software. The MS reference you supplied tells that the MS installer would have put the MS fonts into the Disabled folders if it would have found them duplicates of files in the Fonts folders.

I also rarely do font conversions to be able to use fonts directly in (La)TeX. Most fonts that I've added already have all the support files available on line. On the other hand, there are some nice choices, besides Computer Modern, that are already part of recent MacTeX (TeX Live) distributions. Latin Modern is a Computer Modern ```clone'' with an extended character set. Invoke it using \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} which works with math too. There is the generic looking (to me) ``Times'' + ``Helvetica'' + ``Courier'' whioch I invoke with \usepackage{mathptmx} \usepackage[scaled=0.87]{helvet} \usepackage[scaled=1.03]{couriers} \normalfont \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} where the scaled courier (couriers) package is part of recent MacTeX (TeX Live); use the courier package with no scaling if the couriers package isn't available on your system. This also does math. I use the mathpazo (Palatino with math) package with Berasans and Beramono as a nice looking combination (as you'll see, I think Berasans and Beramono have the right weight with several fonts). Invoke it with \usepackage{mathpazo} \linespread{1.05} % Palatino needs more leading \usepackage[scaled=0.87]{berasans} \usepackage[scaled=0.87]{beramono} \normalfont \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} try this one, it's nice. Another one of my favorites is the fourier package which uses extensions of the Adobe Utopia font (part of recent MacTeX (TeX Live) distributions) and I again use with Berasans and Beramono. Use \usepackage{fourier} \usepackage[scaled=0.85]{berasans} \usepackage[scaled=0.85]{beramono} and the fourier package invokes the T1 encoding and textcomp so there is no need to do that again. This also is quite nice with math and symbol support. I haven't played much with the TeX Gyre font collection but that supplies clones of several of the standard fonts that folks use. Well, that should get you started without raising a finger to install anything new.

However, the two instances are different in that the original is a TrueType font with four .ttf files and Microsoft's replacement is a single Suitcase file.

Oh the joys of user > debugging. And the bigger joy comes from wrong assumptions... Font Book is almost a font manager. It has to know the file containing the font, it has to know the glyphs inside a font, their properties, the font's version number, and possible restrictions of use (not to be embedded, not allowed to download to a printer, etc.). TeXShop just uses a font to some extent. Like Country Joe McDonald 40 years ago it yells "Give me an F, give me an U, give me ..." and then the OS' font service gives what the people wants. Or compare TeXShop with a traveller leaving the station in some unknown town, knowing just the address of the conference or the hotel. Font Book provides a map of the town, the cab driver provides the (font) bring service. Mission accomplished. So TeXShop does not need to know whether a font has duplicates or has been disabled recently, it should only receive valid data from font service and its cache upon request. -- Greetings Pete === -Q ==<__/% >> _____________(_)____ at _____________________________ From rhomunu-list at yahoo.fr Thu Nov 5 20:57:08 2009 From: rhomunu-list at yahoo.fr (Thierry) Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 19:57:08 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [OS X TeX] tlmgr generate updmap problem... Message-ID: <57332.81041.qm@web24406.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Hello, I have installed the lastest version of texlive-2009 on my mac (mactex-2009-nov-4.mpkg). I have a lot of personnal map files I would like to put into updmap.cfg. For that I would like to use the 'tlmgr generate updmap' procedure with a local file 'updmap-local.cfg' in my 'library/texmf/web2c/' folder. The problem is that the command 'sudo tlmgr generate updmap' does not seem to do anything at all. If I try without the 'sudo', it says: Cannot open /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg for writing: Permission denied at /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 2415. With the 'sudo', no message at all... After that, when I use 'sudo updmap', I have no trace of my own map files. Any ideas/advices?

Hi, I have just tried FontForge. It allows to convert Type1 fonts to Otf-Fonts. Type 1 fonts used in MacOS 9 consist of two parts. The suitcase contains the kerning info, the outlines are stored in separate files. If you would send me one of your fonts, I could try to do a conversion.

Take a look there. Also, for personal maps you need to invoke updmap --enable Map mymap.map for each of the map files you want to activate. NOTE: there is no sudo used for personal map since that would create the files with root as owner in your personal texlive2009 tree. I usually discourage doing things this way. I'd install the fonts in the proper subdirectories of /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/, run sudo mktexlsr and then sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map mymap.map for each mymap.map file you wish to activate. If you keep the fonts in your personal texmf tree (~/Library/texmf/) leave out the -H option which tells sudo to use root's home directory rather than your home directory. Make sure you delete everything in your ~/.texlive2009/ directory since that will be found first. If you have lots of maps to enable I'd create a script to save you time.

Take a look there. I have indeed the files pdftex.map (and other for dvips...) here. But from the documentation, I expect the command 'tlmgr generate updmap' to create a file 'updmap.cfg' (somewhere in '.texlive2009/texmf-var/web2c' maybe?). This folder only contains a file 'updmap.log' created when I used 'updmap' (which works perfectly).

I could use this method, but I would like to understand why the method suggested by texlive does not work. In any case, I prefer to maintain a file 'updmap-local.cfg' instead of a script. I have all my fonts in my ~/Library/texmf/ folder, and they are correctly used when I create a updmap.cfg file by hand (in ~/Library/texmf/ also) and run updmap. Thanks for your answer.

It wants to change the base upmap.cfg file so you need to run sith sudo.

This will first get all the maps entered in updmap.cfg, enable each of the maps you want without taking the time to rebuild the pdftex.map, etc., and finally rebuild the the system wide pdftex.cfg, etc., maps. If you are trying for a purely personal configuration use updmap ... instead of sudo -H updmap-sys ... above.

The commands above just record changes in the system-wide updmap.cfg file. No MAP file is rebuilt, so the commands run quite fast. Last step in this scheme is the following command which actually rebuilds the system's MAP files: > sudo -H updmap-sys Using just 'updmap' instead of 'sudo -H updmap-sys' or 'sudo updmap- sys' will work on the private fonts and MAP files set.

TeXShop uses its own shell script inside its application bundle to convert DVI to PDF, /Applications/TeX/TeXShop.app/Contents/Resources/ altpdflatex, which is in my case actually /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ universal-darwin/simpdftex.

Now, this sounds as if something was not finished or saved or however completed. TeXShop was so nice to produce something temporary and volatile for you (because it can) and you seem to have asked Skim to open and display something not existing? A name like "Untitled" looks like a user's fault. It's probably best you open a new test case and also to open Mail and record in a response to this eMail exactly all your steps until the failure happens (if it works this time you can save it for you or trash it). Also make TeXShop show its own console window which would display in a less complicated fashion any failures from the latex run. (Remember that you can also open an existing TeX file in TextEdit or copy an existing contents inside a LaTeX window of TeXShop temporarily in some compose window of Mail. Not a single bit of data has to be lost to create a new and clean test case.) -- Greetings Pete The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is the day they start selling vacuum cleaners. ?

I think this is an interesting idea, and I wonder if it has ever been done before. I could see this type of copy-paste as being triggered by selecting a portion of text, and then scrolling up/down. The direction of the initial scroll would indicate whether you were trying to select a block of text higher or lower, and place the bottom/ top at the extreme of the window, and as you scroll the paper could "tear" to let you know that you were still scrolling up. You would have to have something mid-window to let you scroll back the other direction in case of an overshoot, perhaps the "tear"? I don't know, this might not be an expected behavior for select- scrolling, but I can attest to the fact that the current behaviour, where you have to wait for the window to scroll up/down can be a real pain. That's why I switched to using emacs, although I do use TexShop for some documents.

I am not sure we are talking about the same: If I click somewhere on a page and then shift-click anywhere else, above or below, everything in-between is selected no matter what. Why should it be any different if the two clicks are so far apart that you can only see them in a split window. The way I see it, you scroll the upper pane until you have the begin of what you want to select. You click it. Then you scroll the bottom pane until you see the end of what you want to select. You shift-click it. But I am sure it is more complicated than what I think! > I don't know, this might not be an expected behavior for select- > scrolling, but I can attest to the fact that the current behaviour, > where you have to wait for the window to scroll up/down can be a > real pain.

Last time I took a look at emacs, I almost got a heart attack. I sure got a headache, though. Fortunately, I don't do such massive moving that often that I can't stick with TeXShop.

In many software programs that I use you can click at a place showing in one pane, then shift-click at a location showing in another pane. Everything in-between is then selected. This applies in particular with spreadsheets. This does *not* work in TeXshop's panes; at least not in version 2.14. It seems that the panes record their clicks separately. e.g. * Click in top pane sets an insertion point. * Shift-click in lower pane selects from top of source down to the clicked point. * Shift-click in top pane selects between this point and the previous insertion point. > > I could see this type of copy-paste as being triggered by selecting > a portion of text, and then scrolling up/down. > The direction of the initial scroll would indicate whether you were > trying to select a block of text higher or lower, and place the > bottom/top at the extreme of the window, and as you scroll the > paper could "tear" to let you know that you were still scrolling up. That is a nice idea, for representing a selection that does not fit entirely within the scrolling window. > You would have to have something mid-window to let you scroll back > the other direction in case of an overshoot, perhaps the "tear"? Shift click lets you either extend or reduce an existing selection. In Mail this only lets you adjust from the bottom end. In TeXshop, it seems to work at either end. > I don't know, this might not be an expected behavior for select- > scrolling, but I can attest to the fact that the current behaviour, > where you have to wait In many Mac programs, you don't have to wait. Even in TeXshop, it is rather silly to select-drag-scroll; that is indeed time-consuming. Better is to click, scroll using the scroll-bar, then shift-click. > for the window to scroll up/down can be a real pain. > That's why I switched to using emacs, although I do use TexShop for > some documents.

Yes, thanks, I was too hasty in writing that. The correct way to determine this is by using kpsewhich, as I suggested in the portion of my message that you snipped (I believe TEXMFHOME is the correct variable).

No! ~/Library/texmf contains installed packages (STY, CLS files, fonts related material, documentation) while ~/.texlive contains personal configuration files for utilities which build FMT or MAP files and of course these as well, plus PK and TFM files from eventually using METAFONT based fonts (teTeX had put these into a system-wide area, into /var/tmp, but today disks are so large...). -- Mit friedvollen Gr??en Pete Stop-and-go: Bezeichnung f?r die vergeblichen Bem?hungen der Outomobilistinnen, durch "Stop" schneller zu sein als die Fu?g?ngerinnen durch "Go."

The text in the bottom pane is totally disconnected from the top pane so you may have selected an end point that appears correct but is three sections down from where you want to be. When done in a single pane you must scroll past everything so you can be more careful.

So you may want to install that over the older system that is transferred via Migration Assistant. Oh... Migration Assistant will transfer the TeX Distribution but it does some bad things that you will have to correct; the MacTeX-2009 installer will take care of fixing those things. See QM.10 on the MacTeX FAQ for more information, . Finally, since the texmf-local directory will still be in place after installing MacTeX-2009 you will only have to install the lucida map files like you originally did with MacTeX-2008.

It will see them, but it won't be able to use them because by default their MAP file fragments are not enabled. Enabling them, and setting up font handling defaults, is made very easy with a simple text file in TeX Live 2009. -- Greetings Pete (: _ / __ - - _/ \__/_/ - - (?`) (?`) - - `? `?

Maybe that's my problem, Peter. I've only noticed that url and hyperref don't work right since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. For example, both of the following two minipages produce split links on my current, MacTeX-2008 system. \begin{minipage}{4.0in} \url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t{4.0in} \href{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv} {\texttt{% http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ pricedistrib.csv }} \end{minipage} In either case, the upper "link" http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/ points to the indicated inaccessible directory. It is not part of the whole URL, as it should be.

Howdy, Not quite! Even though the fonts wont have to be re-installed you'll have to ``tell'' the 2009 TeX system that the fonts are there and how to use them using the usual sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map mymap.map for each of the map files, mymap.map. Those map files should be /usr/ local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/maps/ or sub-directories of that directory.

It typically takes several days for the changes on CTAN to propagate through the system. While the internet is pretty fast not all servers are updating at the same time (a good thing) and we're talking about GB of data moving around the world.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone in the project for his or her contribution! It is good to see that there is a new TeX Live, and, also, a new MacTeX ready for install. However, I would like to suggest that in the future you please wait with the announcement for MacTeX until the new version is actually available on CTAN. When I realised this morning that you had updated the MacTeX page at tug.org so as to make it redirect from mactex/ to mactex/2009/ I thought MacTeX was already available for download. When I still could not find it on several CTAN servers until noon, I thought that something had gone wrong with the announcement which just came out too early. This is why it is quite important to advise users not to download now, but to wait a while until the new MacTeX package has propagated across the CTAN network. I would even suggest to re-change the MacTeX website for a while, so as not to frustrate users, as most will not be subscribed to this mailinglist.

(No... no blame it's always nice to be informed.) So trying to ``hide'' the information just won't work.

The link to MacTeX on the MacTeX web page points to a multiplexer which selects a particular mirror site to use. On that mirror site, MacTeX.mpkg.zip is a symbolic link to the latest version of MacTeX. Until last night, it pointed to mactex-20090320.mpkg.zip, which was the latest version of MacTeX-2008. Starting today, the link points to mactex-20091108.mpkg.zip, the release version of MacTeX-2009. However, it takes up to a week for mirror sites to update themselves. We'll be monitoring the situation. The MacTeX site, www.tug.org/ mactex, has a page listing mirror sites known to contain the latest version, BUT we haven't updated that page yet and won't for three days or so. When we update it, we'll announce it here, and then the page will lead to a site with the latest version. And after about a week, these difficulties will vanish as all sites update.

There have been some structural changes between TeX Live 2008 and 2009 that doesn't permit that update. It is hoped that when TeX Live 2010 comes out simply keeping 2009 up to date via tlmgr (or TeX Live Utility for a nice GUI interface on OS X 10.5 and above) will keep you up to date.

I certainly don't mind waiting. But I will say it was supremely irritating that the following three things were simultaneously true: (1) The MacTeX page tug.org/mactex had a link that said it was TL2009 (complete with a date and size), and gave no indication that TL2008 might get downloaded instead. The "note" seems only to reflect that either TL2009 would be downloaded or, if a mirror wasn't up to date, nothing at all would be downloaded. (2) The result of clicking on that link was the download of a file that was in fact TL2008. (3) The filename, both once downloaded and as appeared at the end of the URL in Safari's status bar, gave zero indication that it was for TL2008. In fact, it gives no indication of year at all. These three together are seriously misleading. I had no way of knowing that TL2008 was coming until it was already downloaded and unzipped. Had either (1) or (3) been absent, I wouldn't have wasted all that time downloading. When using Safari for downloading, we don't see what symbolic links are pointing to what. Please, in the future, either make (1) or (3) go away. That will solve this problem. - epicurus From epicurus at forallx.net Mon Nov 9 22:13:37 2009 From: epicurus at forallx.net (epicurus at forallx.net) Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 16:13:37 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] Re: LaTeXit 2.0 unusable In-Reply-To: <20091109200008.09647BB87C5@email> References: <20091109200008.09647BB87C5@email> Message-ID: <20091109211337.GA1507@whitehall.local> > > Just tried out LaTeXiT 2.0.0.

As others pointed out, this is a bug in PDFKit in Snow Leopard. The pdf files produced by TeX work fine on Leopard, and work fine on Snow Leopard if you use Adobe Acrobat Reader. But in Snow Leopard using Preview or other similar programs, you must click on the last line of a multiline url to get the correct result. Sadly, this bug is not fixed in the just released system 10.6.2.

Of course it had to be a non-standard compression to get the smallest file possible (1.39GB). It took me more than 30 minutes to get an xz binary (the source wouldn't compile on my machine). Out of curiosity I zipped the decompressed file (3.08GB) resulting in a 1.87GB .zip file, though I would happily have downloaded the larger file sparing me some anguish. The installation process was a no-brainer with the excellent install script - it took about 6 minutes. I noticed that the binaries (at least pdftex) are this time also compiled for the x86_64 architecture which is a welcome change. Let me add that the installer recognized my 2008 installation and asked if I would like to keep my old settings. Thanks to the TeXLive team for their excellent work.

On rereading my message, I see that I phrased it poorly so that some might take offense (indeed some did). When I said it was irritating that "these three things are simultaneously true", I wasn't providing a list of things that are each individually irritating. Rather, any two of those three, without the third, wouldn't be irritating to me at all. The three of them, however, were jointly irritating. My complaint was that, having clicked on a link that says "TL2009", I got a file that was TL2008 *and* had no way to know this was TL2008 until the download and unzipping were complete---because the filename doesn't have the year in it. I made a suggestion that for 2010, either: the filename *that one sees in Safari* (in the downloads window and the status bar) be changed to reflect the year, OR: that the mactex page clearly state that in clicking on the TL2010 link one might get the previous year's distro instead. So to be clear: the complaint is really about signposting. I wasn't complaining that there is a lag. I wasn't "suggesting" that the lag be made to go away. I'm perfectly fine with waiting for propagation. I wasn't asking for a link to a specific mirror that has the real TL2009. This is why my suggestion was to make either the first or third thing vanish; I assumed that there's nothing that can be done about the second thing. The other two are issues with labeling. - epicurus From epicurus at forallx.net Wed Nov 11 01:53:11 2009 From: epicurus at forallx.net (epicurus at forallx.net) Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:53:11 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] Re: Re: LaTeXit 2.0 unusable In-Reply-To: <20091110200006.59D14BB90A7@email> References: <20091110200006.59D14BB90A7@email> Message-ID: <20091111005311.GB21874@ragnarok.gateway.2wire.net> > On Nov 9, 2009, at 3:47 PM, Erik Jensen wrote: > > On 2009-11-09, at 1:13 PM, wrote: > >>>> Just tried out LaTeXiT 2.0.0.

What's more, after the crash my font caches seem to be messed up: they show the same symptoms as came from the infamous "font cache bug".

The pdf files produced by TeX work fine on Leopard, and work fine on Snow Leopard if you use Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This definitely sounds like good advice since 10.5 can't run 64bit code. You'd think the OS would always default to 32bit unless it can handle 64bit. This would certainly make it clear why it worked on my PowerBook (PPC) 10.5 system. Please let us know if this helps.
