extra spaces in a text file and then copied and pasted the line into the terminal — I had to actually type the spaces in the terminal!) </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" class="">

Well, the method described will generate an<br class="">

<blockquote type="cite" class="">The command invocation was as indicated. In fact, I just cut and paste from my notes which I use every year when I install the new texlive. But I agree with you that the command seems not to be parsed correctly, and the mystery
I’d like to clear up is why.<br class="">

Is the "space" between "--force" and "--enable" a **real** space?<br class="">

I ask, because here in Japan where I live I often make the failure to<br class="">
insert a Japanese space, and eg Emacs does display Japanese full width<br class="">
spaces as half width, so they are hard to distinguish.<br class="">
<br class="">
Another idea is your IFS? Do you have some strange setting for IFS env<br class="">
variable?<br class="">
<br class="">
The problem is **independent** of Perl! It is a problem of your shell.<br class="">
The shell splits the input string into words (by $IFS) and passes those<br class="">
words on as separate arguments to Perl.<br class="">
<br class="">
What perl sees is *one* argument<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>"--force --enable Map=newfont.map"<br class="">
and process this one with the usual argument parser.<br class="">
<br class="">
So if there is a problem, it needs to be searched in the shell.<br class="">
