Directories of the TeX Fonts Metric (tfm)
TeX4ht searches the hypertext fonts in the working directory, and in the following optional directories, in the
given order.
- The directory named in the command line of tex4ht, identified with the prefix ‘-t’.
- The directory identified with the character ‘t’ in the tex4ht.env file.
- The directory whose name is fed into tex4ht.c during compilation time, through the program variable
TFMDIR.
- In the directory holding the executable tex4ht (only for MS Windows).
A given address may start with the character ‘~’ or the character pair ‘~~’. The single character ‘~’ is
interpreted to be the directory address of the root, provided in an environment variable named HOME. The
character pair ‘~~’ is interpreted to be a directory address provided in an environment variable named
TEX4HTTFM. The address stored in the latter environment variable may also start with a single character
‘~’.
The optional environment variable TEX4HTTFM may hold one or more addresses. The addresses must be
separated by a character which does not appear in the addresses, and that character must also delimit the content
at the start and end points.
The system variable MAXFONTS of tex4ht.c places a limit on the number of fonts allowed in the documents.
The default setting doesn’t provide such a limit.
If the program tex4ht.c is compiled with the ‘-DKPATHSEA’ switch on, TeX4ht ignores its own search and
delegate it to the kpathsea utility.
