texconfig(1) TeX Live texconfig(1)
NAME
texconfig - configures teTeX or TeX Live
texconfig-sys - configures teTeX or TeX Live system-wide
SYNOPSIS
texconfig
texconfig [ commands ...]
texconfig-sys
DESCRIPTION
texconfig allows one to configure and maintain TeX in an easy and convenient manner,
offering a series of dialog boxes to the user.
The tlmgr program has subsumed this function for TeX Live. This program is still sup-
ported, but the tlmgr interface is much more actively developed and tested.
After choosing settings or options, the appropriate files are changed automatically and
the new settings are applied for the user. If needed, copies of files in TEXMFDIST or
TEXMFMAIN will be made in the user's TEXMFCONFIG tree.
texconfig uses either the whiptail(1) or dialog(1) program to communicate with the user,
so must be run in a terminal.
For making system-wide changes, which will apply to all users of TeX (for example, default
paper size and so on), run texconfig-sys instead. Changed or generated files will be
placed in TEXMFSYSCONFIG. (You may need to be root to do this.)
texconfig also offers a non-interactive batch mode which can be accessed with the follow-
ing commands
COMMANDS
Commands that accept further options usually display available options if called without
them. For example, texconfig dvipdfm paper will inform about valid paper settings.
conf Display the system configuration.
dvipdfm paper [letter|legal|ledger|tabloid|a4|a3]
Set up dvipdfm to use papersize PAPER by default.
dvips add PRINTERNAME
Create a new (empty) configuration file TEXMFCONFIG/dvips/config/config.PRINTER-
NAME. This file can later be filled with the mode, offset or printcmd options
dvips del PRINTERNAME
Remove config.PRINTERNAME
dvips mode
List available MetaFont modes.
dvips [-P PRINTER] mode MODE
Change the MetaFont mode to MODE for PRINTER or for all output files (config.ps),
if no -P option is given.
dvips [-P PRINTER] offset x-OFFSET,y-OFFSET
Set printer offset for PRINTER or for all output files (config.ps), if no -P option
is given. Offsets must be given with units, e.g. 0pt,10pt You can use test-
page.tex from the LaTeX distribution to find these numbers.
dvips [-P PRINTER] printcmd CMD
Set the printing command for PRINTER or for all output files (config.ps), if no -P
option is given. Commands might be lp or lpr. See the description of the o option
in info dvips or the -O option in dvips(1).
faq Display the list of Frequently Asked Questions about teTeX (and their answers).
font vardir DIR, font ro, font rw
formats
This command allows to edit fmtutil.cnf(5) and (re)creates any new or changed for-
mats afterwards.
hyphen FORMAT
This command allows to edit the hyphenation configuration file for formats that
support this, and recreates the formats afterwards to enable the new languages.
Available formats are shown when no FORMAT is given.
Note that for formats that use LaTeX's language.dat,
e.g. (pdf)jadetex and latex itself, this change is not persistent, since this
file is a generated file. You should not use this command in these cases, read
update-language(1) for alternatives.
init [format]
Recreate format or all formats if none is given, and the font information. This is
the same as calling fmtutil --byfmt format or fmtutil --all, respectively, followed
by updmap.
mode-list
List available printer modes, together with the printers they were developed for,
and their DPI resolution
mode MODE
Set the default printer mode in /etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf or the respective user
file in $TEXMFCONFIG/web2c to MODE.
paper [a4|letter]
Set the default papersize for dvips, dvipdfm, pdftex and xdvi. The set is
restricted because not all programs understand all sizes.
pdftex paper [a4|letter]
Set the default paper size for pdftex.
rehash Call mktexlsr.
xdvi paper PAPER
Set the default paper size for xdvi. The (long) list is available with texconfig
xdvi paper.
ENVIRONMENT
To let you change files, texconfig will open the editor specified in the VISUAL or EDITOR
variables, or sensible-editor if both are unset.
