Hi, the insatllation comes with a tds conform directory tree. The only thing you have to do is to add the texmf directory from the Mathematica fonts to the TEXMF roots in the MikTeX configuration and to add p +wolfram.map to your config.ps file. > The problems are > (1) It does not seem to be possible to read the Mathematica-TeX > documentation without first correctly installing the various styles, but I > presume that the documentation tells one where exactly they should be > installed! I have worked around this by obtaining a copy of the msymdoc.dvi > file, although none of the Mathematica fonts show up. *What* MikTeX distribution ? Early MikTeX versions have serious problems with the *.pk generation. dvips should work -- yap may not. > (2) Page 2 of msymdoc.dvi refers to wolfram.map, but then on page 3 one is > told to put the line > p+ mma.map > in the config.ps file.

Thats a miss print in a very early documentation. > (3) Does it matter if the wolfram.map file is in the local tree or the main > \texmf tree? No but you must add the tree to the possible root directories and update the file name data base. > (4) I notice that wolfram.map refers to *.pfa files, whereas DVIPS complains > that it cannot find *.pfb files The Mathematica 4.0 had *.pfa files, later the binary fonts where used and my update of the documentation was not included. You must use the *.pfb files if you have *.pfb files or use a font fonversion tool. > > I would appreciate any help at all, but if anyone is using MikTeX as well as > Mathematica, advice about your own setup would be particularly helpful! > Contact me direct for future questions.
