If you would like to contribute, +please send mail to tex-k@tug.org first. + +Kpathsea has never officially been released as a standalone library, +even though in practice it is used that way by OS distributions. +It would be good to support a standalone release. + +It would be cleaner to always do a case-insensitive search for all +suffixes, instead explicitly listing (for example) both ".otf" and ".OTF". + +For multiple texmf.cnf files (or multiple dvips configuration files), +replace extra :'s by the value from the next file in the path, rather +than the value from the next level. But compatibility probably requires +that this not be done. + +Support runtime registration of file types to search for, not just +compile-time. Either by a procedure call, or by reading a configuration +file. Implies putting the envvar list into the kpse_format_info_type struct. + +cd during filesystem operations, to minimize the pathname +length. Implies always using xgetwd. |
