Hello Karl,

you write:

> (while preserving the current directory structure support also).  Thanks.


Here my answer to clarify my wish for two variables instead of
the current one $(psfontdir):

You should only use two separate variables, which for you
just have the same value. But I change the default-pathes
to the tfm/vf-files, so I need to have the PS-related-files
to be put in different directories. Having two variables
would allow that easily.


Here is what I have:

default_tfm_path = .:$(texfontdir)/tfm//
default_vf_path = .:$(texfontdir)/vf//

pstfmdir = $(texfontdir)/tfm/PS
psvfdir = $(texfontdir)/vf/PS

With your new //-mechanism, which works not only at the
end of a path, one could also do something like:

default_tfm_path = .:$(texfontdir)//tfm
default_vf_path = .:$(texfontdir)//vf

pstfmdir = $(texfontdir)/PS/tfm
psvfdir = $(texfontdir)/PS/vf

Andreas.
