I can only suggest a seperate runtime configuration file - (good thing)
nobody can hit me with a tomatoe from here). This is how mctex does
it.
This is the top priority on my list to implement.
I can't say that means it will be done soon.
However, I don't think this is the best solution to your problem.
There has to be a way to specify that you want fonts for a particular
engine. There also has to be a way to tell kpathsea how/where to find
fonts for different engines.
Any suggestions?
Yep, I have a suggestion :-)
I think the solution is to make your default PK path include
$MAKETEX_MODE, and then set that envvar (with putenv or xputenv or
whatever). As a bonus, MakeTeXPK ought to work.
I'm sorry the C interface is not documented in the manual; a couple
other people have had to struggle along reading the .h files to try to
get a handle on what's going on. Perhaps I'll write some documentation
on it sometime, but I wouldn't hold my breath. In the meantime, it might
be useful to look at how I mangled dvips and xdvi to get them to work ...
