AFAIK I would have to install the 'texlive-fontsextra' package for this. Looking at the tpm-file for this collection, I see several fonts that are both in texlive-fontsextra and in (future) tetex-extra: antt, bbm, bbold, belleek, cmbright, doublestroke, eulervm, fpl, rsfs (the latter two should be in tetex-base since they are part of PSNFSS) and sauter. I might have overlooked some. Similar for texlive-latexextra which contains many interesting things but also, eg, beton, ccaption, currvita, dinbrief, dk-bib, enumitem, soul, ... all of which are also in tetex. I am sure I have missed quite a few. I could imagine to put nothing from texlive-fontsextra and texlive-latexextra into tetex-base (fpl and rsfs are tricky then). In that case, those two packages could be installed /instead/ of tetex-extra. But installing instead of tetex-extra is not a good solution since there are many more things in there. I don't know if their is a good solution to install these packages in addition to tetex-extra. At least if we don't want to introduce separate TEXMF trees and live with a slight duplication of files. > > If one has to split tex/latex anyway, > > one might also move some large packages that probably aren't used as > > build-dependence.

In principle, this is soemthing that I would be willing to do. But I won't have much time in the near future . cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
