Re: [MiKTeX] Weird problem in TeXworks but not command-line

[Sébastien L. <sl...@gm...>]

Dear Ulrike,

Thanks for your replies.

1. I've got a cmd.exe window opened where I can successfully compile my
test case. I've launched texworks from that window by typing "texworks". In
that texworks window, I get this error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)

entering extended mode

pdflatex.EXE: The font file could not be found.

pdflatex.EXE: Data: matha8

texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).


So even if I start texworks from the command line where things otherwise
work, texworks is still broken for me.


2. I've just run pdflatex on bug.tex (my test case) and it works from the
command-line but not from TeXworks. Same behavior from latex and xelatex
(works from command-line but not from TeXworks).


3. I discovered this problem a little while ago, on a months-old
installation. I did reinstall yesterday because I was wondering if there
was a problem with my installation. The problem was present before, and
remains present now.


Thanks,
