[MiKTeX] beta 13: updating formats

From: Stephan Hennig <mailing_list@ar...> - 2006-07-22 22:02

Hi,

when updating formats by clicking the "Update Formats" button in the
"General" tab in MiKTeX Settings the following two errors are reported
while building the formats.

> makefmt: Unknown engine: etex
> initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason.

> makefmt: Unknown engine: pdftex
> initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason.


Unfortunately, I can't tell which formats raise the errors.  I didn't
observe further problems resulting from these errors so far.

Regards,
Stephan Hennig

etex is obsolete. It seems that you have an old formats.ini laying around.

[MiKTeX] repositories broken?

From: Stephan Hennig <mailing_list@ar...> - 2006-07-22 17:51

Hi,

since the last update today I cannot start the package manager, both
with MiKTeX 2.4 and MiKTeX 2.5.  After lots of updates I downloaded
yesterday everything went fine.

In MiKTeX 2.4 mpm now pops up a message box saying: "MiKTeX hat ein
Problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden."

Clicking on a link in that box for further information reveals this:

AppName: mpm.exe	 AppVer: 2.4.1667.0	 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0	 Offset: df10247c

Could you please fix that?

Regards,
Stephan Hennig

After letting the computer alone for an hour or two the problem solved.
 Since I don't know how, I'm a bit afraid about it.  I have been able to
reproduce the problem when I posted the mail.

[MiKTeX] beta 13: problem with command line input

From: Stephan Hennig <mailing_list@ar...> - 2006-07-22 15:33

Hi,

the following call to pdflatex can be processed with MiKTeX 2.4, but
returns an error with MiKTeX 2.5 Beta 13:

C:\home>pdflatex "\newcommand*{\foo}{foo}\input{test}"
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5 Beta 13)
pdflatex: Windows API error 123: Die Syntax für den Dateinamen,
Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch.

where test.tex may look like this:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
text
\end{document}

No log file is generated.

When the \newcommand macro is removed from command line input test.tex
is processed fine.

Regards,
Stephan Hennig

Thank you for the report! This will be fixed in the next release.

[MiKTeX] knockout/overprint + pdf

From: Vinoth Kumar S. <vinoth@sp...> - 2006-07-22 01:24

Hi everybody,

In a LaTeX document every subscript/superscript maths and small size =
fonts shows white box while controlling with black overprint in PDF.
Is there any way to control the overprint/knockout in PDF through LaTeX. =
(Such option available at 3b2, quarkXpress).

Thanks in advance,
VP

I have a package overprint.sty which you can download from
http://tex.aanhet.net/overprint/

I haven't maintained it but it may still work.
