Description Michaël Cadilhac 2007-08-19 10:46:48 UTC

teTeX is said (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/csplain.html) to include the whole csplain package, which is composed of various tex files and a few symlinks.

Those symlinks are missing :
cslatex -> pdftex
csplain -> pdftex
pdfcslatex -> pdftex
pdfcsplain -> pdftex

Also, the csplain.fmt file is missing. It should be built with :

 tex -ini -enc /usr/share/texmf/tex/csplain/csplain.ini

The cseplain.fmt file is probably needed too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Michaël Cadilhac 2007-08-19 14:00:25 UTC

Well... I just found the following lines in fmutil.cnf :

# - Czech / Slovak for ISO-8859-2 locale (see below for UTF8). Enable
# "by hand", not by "fmtutil --enablefmt", because definitions for
# ISO-8859-2 / UTF8 share the same name.

then commented line to enable csplain. I don't really know why there's this restriction on Gentoo and not on Debian.

It seems that the right thing to do to use csplain is not the `tex -ini', but just remove the comments here, run `fmutil-sys --refresh' and then `mktexfmt csplain' and `mktexfmt cslatex'.

Comment 2 Michaël Cadilhac 2007-08-19 17:14:38 UTC

MMmh... Well, it seems that the warning in the file means something like ``DON'T TOUCH'' : some of my documents that use
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
seems to have problems with them now. (e.g. \copyright doesn't place the `c' at the right place).

It'd probably better to switch this bug report to WONTFIX, but we can maybe found why.
