SUMMARY: TeX & friends on /freeware

Oops, I forgot to shift mail into the editor before a paste operation. :-(

The problem I encountered was LaTeX failing to find the font metric files.

By experimentation, I've found that moving all the .tmf files into
/freeware/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm solves the problem. It would appear that
the /freeware filesystem layout does not correspond to what was compiled
into TeX and friends, i.e. independently of compiling, someone rearranged
the .tfm files by putting them into various subdirectories.
 
If anyone has comments or a comprehensive solution, I'd appreciate it.
I'm sure there are other discrepancies that I've not yet encountered.

Thanks,
