I posted just such a bug report some time ago with no response from anyone. So far it has not been assigned to anyone. (Hans: I don't understand what you mean with "Use the bug tracker - this issue doesn't need to be discussed.") I would be happy to help, but I don't know who to talk to or what it takes to make a cab file. I can also report here that simply unzipping the files from ctan by hand makes latex very angry. So the usual "just unzip" doesn't work here (it used to work under 2.4 where I hand resolved this issue in that manner). Perhaps because some files end up in the wrong directory. I couldn't tell from the error report. If someone helps me get started I will gladly invest time in helping to get this resolved. peter * Matthias Haldimann <mat...@ep...> [2006-08-28]: > > This was reported before, but is still not solved: > > > > MiKTeX contains an old version of the mathdesign package.

At least you must also change updmap.cfg. Relying too much on the package manager is not a good idea. You shouldn't be helpless if something goes wrong or if you need a new package that hasn't been prepared yet. > Perhaps because some files end up in the wrong directory.

Start by making a complete minimal example that "makes latex angry" and post the example along with the relevant parts or (if you don't know which what parts are relevant) the complete log-file. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer mailto:li...@ni... |

At least on my MiKTeX 2.5 installation, unzipping the CTAN package = (v1.55) into the localtexmf folder works fine. Did you refresh the filename = database (<General>-tab in MiKTeX Options) and read the instructions on updating updmap.cfg in mathdesign's readme file?
