In TL2014, the commands 'fmtutil-sys --enablefmt cont-en' and 'fmtutil-sys
--disablefmt cont-en' would enable/disable both cont-en formats (one with engine
pdftex, the other with engine xetex).
This has changed in TL2015:
$ fmtutil-sys --enablefmt cont-en
fmtutil: fmtutil is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence order):
fmtutil: /usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil: /usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil: fmtutil is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing changes:
fmtutil: /usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
fmtutil [WARNING]: More engines given for format cont-en.
fmtutil [WARNING]: Please specify one of the engines: xetex pdftex
fmtutil [WARNING]: No changes done.
Neither the error message nor the fmtutil help text explains *how* to specify
the engine (by using the syntax "format/engine"). I suggest adding this
information. In the case of the help text, you should probably mention both
--enablefmt FORMATNAME
and
--enablefmt FORMATNAME/ENGINENAME
and say that the second form is mandatory if FORMATNAME occurs in fmtutil.cnf
with more than one engine.
