6 1. Set the environment variables.
7 Let [installation directory] be the current directory,
8 which contains this file. Depending on your shell, either type
10 setenv TEXMACS_PATH [installation directory]
11 setenv PATH $TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH
13 export TEXMACS_PATH=[installation directory]
14 export PATH=$TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH
16 2. Run 'TeXmacs' using
20 3. Be cool and let us know if you like or dislike the program; see
22 http://www.texmacs.org
24 It is very useful for us to have a rough idea about the number of
25 permanent users and for what applications you are interested in TeXmacs.
26 Furthermore, we are glad to receive your suggestions and problems,
27 no matter how silly they may seem to you. If you really like the program,
28 then please consider donating money or services to us; see

36 Appendix A: Possible problems
38 * TeXmacs runs fine, but certain fonts are not displayed correctly.
39 Solution: This problem may have several causes:
40 o You use a recent version (>= 7.3) of RedHat Linux or
41 one of its clones. On such systems, the installation of
42 TeTeX is bugged and you need to change some permissions
43 in order to allow font generation by Metafont.
45 chmod -R a+rw /var/lib/texmf/*
46 o You do not use a standard TeX/LaTeX distribution, such as TeTeX
47 (standard distributions come with scripts for generating fonts,
48 such as 'mktextfm' or 'MakeTeXTFM'). You may either install
49 a more standard TeX/LaTeX distribution, or download some
50 pregenerated fonts from texmacs.org.
