sane-backends had font generation disabled, but I changed it to the |
| 14 |
VARTEXFONTS method for now. Wouldn't it be better to populate this |
| 15 |
temporary directory with links to existing cached fonts or something like |
| 16 |
this? I don't know much about latex internals, but computing the fonts |
| 17 |
always because one _might_ be written sounds like a bad idea. |
