I have changed the handling authentication on packages. It is now
possible to turn authentication on or off at will with a switch in the
properties tab. Since authentication may linger on and you do not by
definition get a password panel, you need a visual clue during
installation etc to see if you are running authenticated. I therefore
display the output of authenticated processes in red and
unauthenticated in black.

http://www.rna.nl/tex.html for the TeX volume.

I accidentally deleted all my volumes on
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/volumes. i-Installer is back up. TeX
will be back up in a couple of hours. It remains possible to install
and configure TeX using the i-packages (known packages window).

Hi,
I just joined the list and havn't been able to find anything on the
subject. I need to enable the hyphnation patterns for danish, so I
copied the language.dat file from
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ to
~/Library/texmf/tex/generic/config/
and uncommented the line containing danish. Then as root: fmtutil --all
I thought this would work, but it didn't.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Steffen

Subject: blank display of documents in TeXShop?
From: "Johann Beda"
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:24:46 -0500
Howdy you TeX Mac OS X mailing list people,
Here is a head scratcher for you.
Last week I updated my wife's computers to Gerben's latest fat
installation and the latest TeXShop (1.20).
The computer is a PowerMac G4 933MHz single processor, 1Gig Ram,
running Mac OS X 10.1.5.
Everything seemed to be working fine with previously created files,
but there is something screwy going on with newly created documents. I
will try to describe the problem, but might not do so very well, since I
got the description over the phone.
When she creates a new document, say something simple that just
prints "test" onto a page, and hits the "LaTeX" button, the window that
TeXShop opens up to display test.pdf is completely blank. However, in =
both
Acrobat Reader and Apple's Preview, the file test.pdf displays fine, and =
it
prints fine from TeXShop or Acrobat or Preview.
This seems to be a problem only newly created files or with files
that have been "saved as" something else after some edits. I had my wife
delete the preferences .plist for TeXShop thinking that that might help,
and it did not.
Any ideas?
I just took another look at the TeXShop web page and noteced some
discussion about "~/Library/TeXShop/Templates". When I installed 1.20 I
did not do anything about this - should I have? I know we did not modify
the Templates in any earlier installation - if I ssh to the machine in
question and delete the ~/Library/TeXShop/ folder will TeXShop recreate a
brand new version of the correct files? Well, I just had my wife delete
the folder and a new one was created, but the problem persisted.
What next? Any other things I should be testing? I have not yet
tested the other two machines in the lab to see if they have the same
problems or not. This seems like a TeXShop problem, but might it be with
the underlying TeX stuff somehow?

I had the same problem some times ago and I saved the situation
downgrading Texshop from 1.20 to 1.19.
TeXshop 1.20 runs fine wit OS X 10.2, so you can even
avoid your problem by upgrading the OS.

Hi. I recall this problem being discussed before (it had happened to
me as well and I replied to the discussion at that time). So I went to
the digests and did a search. This page has the discussion.
http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/MacOSX-TeX-Digests/2002/MacOSX-
TeX_Digest_08-30-02.html
Basically, it happened to me once, and then not again. I just opened
the pdf file once from the Finder (after TeXShop had been quit,
probably) and there was the output. After that I never had problems
again. Others noted that they could see the text after just resizing
the window or changing the magnification. At any rate, for me it was a
one-time problem and did not return.

I just got this letter after I sent mine.
I did not have to downgrade to get the problem to go away.

Hi Steffen and welcome!
Gerben Wierda some times ago suggested me to use texconfig.
Open the terminal and type
sudo texconfig
insert your password and a menu will appear.
Choose
hyphen
and then choose the format in which you wish to use the danish=20
hyphenation.
The editor called vi automatically opens the right file language.dat.
Uncomment the line of danish language,
save the file and quit vi and the terminal.
Automatically the formats will be recreated with the danish hyphenation=20=
added.
If the next time you will use texshop you will see something
like that
"Babel and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,=20
ngerman, d
utch, italian, nohyphenation, loaded."
(with, obviously, the word danish instead of italian)
everything should run fine.
Bye,
Alessandro

i-Installer v2 of course! ;-)
Just get it through http://www.rna.nl/ii.html, open the known packages
menu. select the TeX Configuration package and hit configure. The
second configuration panel is languages (for most formats). Make sure
the package points to the right location (/usr/local/teTeX by default)
