[TxMt] Re: latex bundle - where are fonts stored?

[Yan Zhou]

I suggest you should consult the TUG (Tex User Group) mail list. This is really not a TextMate thing nor a LaTeX bundle thing. Installing and using package has nothing to do with TextMate or LaTeX bundle. They merely provide a excellent way for editing latex source file. 

There are dozens of ways to check which tex you are using.

In terminal, try

tex -version

or

latex -version

Most mac users nowadays use MacTeX, aka, TeXLive. If you find "TeX Distribution" in the System preference panel, then you are using it and you can check which distribution is in use.

Finally, use terminal to check the following directory to see if you can find anything.

/usr/local/

I have tried the various commands to find what version of LaTex I have installed, as have other more geeky people (who use Linux or other programs to use LaTeX on a Mac) and none of them can find LaTeX on this computer although it obviously exists. So we have concluded that it must be bound up and hidden somewhere in the TextMate application.

Your conclusion is absolutely wrong. I am very sure that the tex/latex/pdftex are not bound up and hidden anywhere in the TextMate
