[pdftex] pdfetex can't find map files (MORE INFO)

[Matt Gushee]

Well, I finally got up the nerve to do a Kpathsea debug. I think I see 
something wrong here, but I can't say for sure. Anyway, maybe this will 
be helpful.

I ran two commands with debugging:

   1)  kpsewhich -debug 126 original-public-vnr.map >kp.log 2>&1

   2)  texexec --pdf --passon "-kpathsea-debug=126" chita.tex \
         >tx.log 2>&1

As I mentioned before, (1) finds the file in the expected location, 
while (2) results in errors. I will compare some of the results; [K] 
will refer to the first command, while [T] will refer to the second.


[K] kdebug:hash_lookup(TEXFONTMAPS) => 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config

[T] kdebug:hash_lookup(TEXFONTMAPS) => 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config 
.:$TEXMF/fontname:$TEXMF/fonts/map//:$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config

This looks right to me.


[K] kdebug:start search(file=original-public-vnr.map, must_exist=0, 
find_all=0, 
path=.:/home/mgushee/texmf/fontname:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/fontname:\
!!/usr/share/texmf/fontname:/home/mgushee/texmf/fonts/map//:\
!!/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map//:!!/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map//:\
/home/mgushee/texmf/pdftex/config:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/pdftex/config:\
!!/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config:/home/mgushee/texmf/dvips/config:\
!!/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config:!!/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config).

[T] kdebug:start search(file=original-public-vnr.map, must_exist=0, 
find_all=0, 
path=.:/home/mgushee/texmf/dvips//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips//:\
!!/usr/share/texmf/dvips//:/home/mgushee/texmf/pdftex//:\
!!/usr/local/share/texmf/pdftex//:!!/usr/share/texmf/pdftex//:\
/home/mgushee/texmf/tex//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex//:\
!!/usr/share/texmf/tex//:/home/mgushee/texmf/fonts/type1//:\
!!/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1//:!!/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1//).

Now I am assuming that the search path for the mapfile is supposed to be 
set from $TEXFONTMAPS. If so, then it appears the above is wrong. BTW, I 
also have TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex, TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex, and 
TEXFONTMAPS.context (temporarily commented out), all set to the same value.

[K] kdebug:hash_lookup(original-public-vnr.map) => 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/dvips/
kdebug:db:match(\
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-public-vnr.map,\
/usr/local/share/texmf/fontname) = 0

[T] kdebug:hash_lookup(original-public-vnr.map) => 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/dvips/
kdebug:db:match(\
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-public-vnr.map,\
/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips//) = 0

Okay, now we have seen the correct path. Does 0 mean true or false? 
There are several more occurences of hash_lookup and db:match in both 
cases, all looking pretty similar (if it matters, I can send the 
complete logs).


[K] kdebug:search(original-public-vnr.map) => 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-public-vnr.map

[T] kdebug:search(original-public-vnr.map) =>
cannot open font map file

So there it is. I'm confused.
