Hi, there was this thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-auctex/2015-10/msg00000.html on the bug tracker, I wish to add here a bit of additional experience. Consider this test file \font\test=[lmmono10-regular]: \test I know this is no correct syntax. \bye and compile with C-cC-c the we get ERROR: Font \test=[lmmono10-regular]: not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. --- TeX said --- <to be read again> \par l.2 --- HELP --- You requested a family/series/shape/size combination that is totally unknown. There are two cases in which this error can occur: 1) You used the \size macro to select a size that is not available. 2) If you did not do that, go to your local `wizard' and complain fiercely that the font selection tables are corrupted! //end of error buffer This is a pure LaTeX message which refers to the NFSS font system. The command is Running `TeX' on `testmissingfont' with ``pdfetex -file-line-error -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" testmissingfont.tex'' If I run this on the command line (removing -interaction=nonstopmode) I get: $ pdfetex -file-line-error "\input" testmissingfont.tex This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016) (preloaded format=pdfetex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./testmissingfont.texkpathsea:make_tex: Invalid fontname `[lmmono10-regular]:', contains '[' ./testmissingfont.tex:2: Font \test=[lmmono10-regular]: not loadable: Metric (T FM) file not found. <to be read again> \par l.2 ? H I wasn't able to read the size data for this font, so I will ignore the font specification. [Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.] You might try inserting a different font spec; e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'. ? X No pages of output. Transcript written on testmissingfont.log. which is the original error message. I wonder if AUCTeX could consider separate error handling according to engines. It is really a disturbance to see these LaTeX error messages pop up. Is the problem due to the fact that one may have to extract from tex.web the original Knuth error messages ? because the whole thing is run with -interaction=nonstopmode hence AUCTeX must « own » its own database of help messages, those the user gets on typing H in interactive mode ?
