Ok, the problem is that when you map the Master/ dir to a drive, you get :
C:>kpsewhich --expand-var $SELFAUTOPARENT
t:/
C:>
Hence:
C:>kpsewhich --expand-var $VARTEXFONTS
t://texmf-var/fonts
which is ugly. However, I hesitate to change the code so that the first
command returns t: without a slash, because it is an invalid path
specification. On the other hand that would solve your problem.
Need to think about this one.
