|
|
I TeX'ed the distributed Test_latex.tex source distributed with mtpro2.
Just two problems -- (1) the \usepackage line needs to be changed to refer to mtpro2 rather than mtpro and (2) the symbols \varGamma and \varOmega are not defined -- but otherwise the TeX'ing went OK.
However, the YAP viewer could not load the requisite cmb10. See the YAP details in "cmb10 Logbook" below.
Here's what I did for installation:
I unzipped the mtpsfont.zip to MiKTex's texmf tree (actually, had to unzip to a temporary directory, then copy, since the top directory in the zip was texmf rather than localtexmf).
I edited localtexmf\web2c\updmap.cfg so as to insert at the end the line:
Map mtpro2.map #localtexmf\dvips\mtpro\mtpro2.map
then I ran mkfntmap (as MiKTeX does not seem to provide a updmap command).
Then I refreshed the MiKTeX filename database.

Making PK font:
d:\WP\texmf\miktex\bin\makepk.exe --verbose cmb10 600 600 magstep(0.0) ljfour
Trying to make PK font "cmb10" (at 600 DPI)...
Creating "cmb10.pk"...
"mf" \mode:=ljfour; \mag:=magstep(0.0);nonstopmode;input cmb10

METAFONT failed for some reason
makepk: METAFONT failed on "cmb10".
Loading 'cmr10' instead. |

This is a well-known bug in MikTeX.
(Google for the error message "This can't happen" in comp.text.tex.)
Fix: update the format files (miktex->options.) |
