Problem with xtemplate

Hi all,

Today, I updated MIKTeX and now I have a problem. If I compile a file 
whose contents are

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xfrac}
\begin{document}
$\sfrac{1}{2}$
\end{document}

then I get this error message:

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                    \relax
l.4 $\sfrac{1}{2}
                  $
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

What is happening here? I am going to add the full log file after the 
end of this message.

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos

Problem using LaTeX in MetaPost

Hi,

I'm using MiKTeX version 2.9 and MetaPost version 1.504. I'm no longer able to use LaTeX in MetaPost. The file

verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex

input latexMP;

filenametemplate "%j-%3c.mps";

beginfig(1);

  draw (0, 0)--(150, 150);
  label(btex $A$ etex, (0, 0));
  show mpversion;

endfig;

verbatimtex
\end{document}
etex

end
fails because LaTeX commands aren't recognized. The error file is

This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (MiKTeX 2.9) (preloaded format=tex 2012.2.7)  7 FEB 2012 10:28

Does MikTeX support texfonts.map for .tfm mapping?

Hello,

I am writing a LaTeX package to setup fonts on the fly. It uses
texfonts.map to let different fonts share the same metric file. Then
\pdfmapline makes the font works.

This faculty works well on TeX Live, but on MiKTeX it fails. PDFTeX or
maketfm does not read the mapping at all.

What should I do? Is it impossible to use it on miktex then? Or there may
be an alternative method?

Many thanks.

Leo

lualatex packages: requirements on dofile

Hi,

I installed the package "luabibentry". During use, I get following output:

--cut--
(C:/MiKTeX29/tex/lualatex/luabibentry/luabibentry.sty
! LuaTeX error cannot open luabibentry.lua: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'dofile'
        <\directlua >:1: in main chunk.
l.51 \directlua{dofile("luabibentry.lua")}
--end--

luabibentery.lua exists in C:\MiKTeX29\tex\lualatex\luabibentry

Does "luabibentry.sty" needs to get updated to work at MiKTeX or is
there a problem with the packaging in MiKTeX?

Cheers,

Oliver

on-the-fly installation

There's been a report at

http://www.mail-archive.com/tex-music <at> tug.org/

that MikTeX invokes on-the-fly installation for a font-mapping file
(musix.map) that has already been installed in a personal texmf tree.

The installation scripting that involves musix.map is as follows:

  xcopy %MIKTEXDIR%\dvips\config\config.ps "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\
  echo copy config.ps to ROOT >> %LOG%
  xcopy %MUSIXTEXDIR%\dvips\musix.map "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\
  echo copy musix.map to ROOT (dvips) >> %LOG%
  echo p +musix.map >> "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\config.ps
  echo add line "f +musix.map" to config.ps file >> %LOG%

The user is supposed to have added %ROOT% to the MikTeX-managed
set of texmf trees and updated the FNDB.

Is this caused by an installation-script bug or a MiKTeX bug?

Bob T.

P.S. I'm well aware that by a simple click in the package manager a user
can have MiKTeX install a complete and up-to-date musixtex package; but
the user involved is not me.

re move : change.case$ to keep capital letters in the titles of reference list


Hi,

I am new here.
I want to alter the output of "title" in a bibtex style file to make life
easier for my colleagues, sorry I would not do it for my own purpose.

in the following link I found a simple solution
http://old.nabble.com/BibTeX:-Change-of-upper-to-lower-case-in-titles-td13942616.html

At the line 264, remove : change.case$ 

I did that, and it works, but unfortunately a t. appears after the title in
the reference list.

Thanks for your help.

Martin

Hello,

I use MiKTeX 2.9. If I use a graphic with a very long path I get the 
error-message "pdftex: Not enough room in an internal buffer." If I 
shorten the path pdftex works.

Is it possible to enlarge this buffer and how can I do this?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
Reinhard

Problem with equation labels

I have a document that has equations with labels: 

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
y=x
\end{equation}

In the past the Latex compiler would find the labels and then allow me to reference them, as in \ref{eq:1} or
sometimes \eqref{eq:1}. However, on the latest version, which I updated yesterday Jan 5 2012, the
compiler cannot find the labels and gives Eq.(??) in the text and an error message: LaTeX Warning:
Reference `eq:1' on page 1 undefined on input line 62. This is independent of how many times I run the code
(usually it has to run twice, first to list the labels and then again to reference them.) The document
compiles ok on a Mac using a different compiler but not on this version 9 of MiKTex under Windows 7 (32 bit).
Figure labels work fine. Is this a bug?

Regards

Tim

miktex-etex-base

Everytime I run "update MiKTeX" I'll find the package "miktex-etex-base" with the status "to be repaired"
in the list.

Does anybody know, how to fix (or repair) this permanently?

Thanks

John

Search in Yap

I am using Miktex 2.9 and my workflow is usually latex>dvips>ps2pdf. I
generally use yap for viewing and like the forward/backward search
feature (which I use with Winedt 5.5). A minor problem is that the
forward search symbol in the Yap window  is too small and is in the
same color as the text. Locating it is somewhat difficult. I was
wondering if there is a way to have this symbol bigger and preferably
in red?

Thanks
