RE: larm0900

I try your code via winedt texify and winedt pdftexify and all is ok (no
message). You need to reinstall miktex from beginning. I do this if I have
such problems that other don't have. But this is a very lazy solution but
efficient if you don't have time.

append LaTeX search path

Hi,

is there an alternative to TEXINPUTS - which seems to be ignored with
MiKTeX -- other than command line switch `-include-directory'? I'm
trying to append LaTeX's search path in a portable make file that works
with MiKTeX as well as with unix flavors of LaTeX, e.g., tetex.
Unfortunately, the letter seems to ignore `-include-directory'. It would
be sad if there's no portable solution to extend the path. Any ideas?

Regards
Stephan Hennig

You can put extra input files in subdirectories and refer to
them as something like `sub/file' or `sub/file.tex'. Other
_relative_ paths work as well: `\usepackage{../styles/mystyle}'

You could also use a project-specific texmf tree, containing just
the extra LaTeX files. Activating and deactivating an extra texmf
tree in MikTeX involves modifying registry entries, which would
require some sort of scripting language, and regenerating the
filename database, for which there is a commandline command, viz.
`initexmf --update-fndb'. It would be a good solution if your
project required a lot of custom stuff.

But if it is just some stylefiles and graphics, relative paths is
the way to go.

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll think about both solutions. The former
-- more straight forward -- solution is difficult to implement since I'm
working with lots of source files (200+), that either input files from
other directories or are input from files in other directories. Moreover
I don't like to add file system information in source files. It would be
hard to change or at least needs manual review.

The latter solution seems more appropriate. However, I don't know yet
how a portable solution with a new texmf tree looks like.

That's why I'm currently evaluating a third solution: trying to get
system information through the make file and acting distribution
dependent. That's still not satisfying. I'm still wondering why MiKTeX
isn't sensible to TEXINPUTS.

Re: Using Adobe Palatino and non-CMR Math Fonts on Windows

Success in getting Palatino and Mathematica fonts to work
in MikTeX.  Thanks very much for getting me started.

The problem turned out to be a bit simpler than what I
had expected - it was basically getting the font names
to correspond to the file names in the TeX prolog we
were using to set up the formatting.  Thereafter everything
fell into place.  I will note that I did experiment a bit
with "initexmf -u" and putting things in localtexmf.
After getting brave enough to try that, it turned out
they weren't necessary.  However, without the
encouragement from the mailing list, it would probably
have taken a good deal longer to do.

Again, thanks - and season's greetings.

a perfect dvi with .eps files creates a very bad pdf ?!

Re: a perfect dvi with .eps files creates a very bad pdf ?!

Actually, the problem is in matlab  eps file. I do my figures in
matlab usually, and it puts a white square begind every figure it
creates... the best way is to use some eps editor (like CorelDraw) and
delete unnecessary ps elements.

Regards, Dario.

It is not a miktex/latex problem after all! :)

Re: a perfect dvi with .eps files creates a very bad pdf ?!

Dear Margarita,

I agree with other commenters that this is a problem with the way you 
build your eps files in MATLAB, and is not a miktex problem.  I have 
written textbooks containing hundreds of MATLAB created files and miktex 
without facing the problem you describe.  If you simply let MATLAB use 
its defaults and then save with the command

 >> print -depsc <filename>

you should have no difficulty.  However, some times you want the figure 
to be a different size than the default.  In such a case you should take 
more care in the m-file you use to construct the graphic.  I will send 
you an example off line in order not to abuse the privileges of this 
news group, which is not devoted to MATLAB.
