(If you really want to do so.) Oops, for font packages, you also need to update font-map database. See: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/88423/ I'll prepare a patch to update FAQ-BUILD.txt regarding this issue. But "msnt" as default seems premature. "mslm" would be a moderate option for default. Thoughts? Thanks, Akira > > But you can just try "make mstx" instead.
