To successfully use itrans, you need to set up some shell variable and paths.
At the least, to use itrans for producing TeX, PostScript and HTML files,
you must add this in your S:Shell-Startup file:
setenv ITRANSPATH /SYS/itrans/lib:/SYS/itrans/lib/fonts
Replace SYS with the volume it's on, and enter the correct path.
To make this strange looking path work you must run 'ixprefs' and
click on the "Advanced Options" and set the "Translate /" option on.
Then ixemul will translate this path to the Amiga style SYS:itrans/lib,
SYS:itrans/lib/fonts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be able to process the TeX files, you must tell your system where
to find the files. For PasTeX 1.4l I did the following (please let
me know how you set it up with Amiweb2c):
cd TeX:config
There are four configuration files for (La)TeX - tex.cnf, bigtex.cnf,
tex-latex209.cnf, and bigtex-latex209.cnf. Edit each file to update the
following variables in it:
TEXINPUTS <original value>,SYS:itrans/lib*
TEXFONTS <original value>,SYS:itrans/lib/fonts
For Metafont there was no config file, so I set this environment variable
in S:Shell-Startup:
setenv MFINPUTS ?,SYS:itrans/lib/fonts:
(the ? will be replaced by Metafont with the standard search path)
This will allow (La)TeX to process the files, and ShowDVI to be able to
view the files (as long as the fonts are available!)
For dvips to work correctly, you must also edit the TeX:ps/config.pro and
add the lines from itrans/lib/DVIPSRC or at least these two:
H <original value>,SYS:itrans/lib,SYS:itrans/lib/fonts
p +SYS:itrans/lib/psfonts.map
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To view the PostScript files, follow the instructions of your viewer to
install the Type 1 PFA/PFB fonts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately as of this writing, it seems no Amiga browser is capable of
understanding the <FONT FACE> tag, so it seems like viewing HTML is not
possible on the Amiga.
If you wish to install the fonts on your Amiga, you could, using either the
TrueType library or the Type1 library.
