When teTeX is installed through Portage, $HOMETEXMF is set to $HOME/texmf in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf. This isn't very Mac-like. The other distributions of teTeX that I've used on OS X (Gerben Wierda's i-installer and Fink's teTeX package) place the user's personal 'texmf' tree in $HOME/Library/texmf. Likewise, some OS X applications that depend on a teTeX installation assume that the user's personal 'texmf' will be in $HOME/Library/texmf. I would like for you to consider changing the default HOMETEXMF setting to $HOME/Library/texmf on OS X, so that Portage's teTeX behaves more like other OS X teTeX distributions. I'm not sure that this even qualifies as a bug, and if there are good reasons for leaving the default setting the way it is, then I'll understand. But it's a small change -- one line in a configuration file -- and it could easily be changed on OS X without affecting the defaults for other platforms. The result would be a teTeX installation that makes better use of the OS X directory structure, works better with other (non-Portage) OS X apps, and conforms more closely to users' expectations. Thanks, Steve van Dahm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge tetex 2. grep -n 'HOMETEXMF = ' /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
I'll change $HOMETEXMF to $HOME/Library/texmf. Thanks for the bug report.
