How to install TeXLive to replace teTeX on F8

Copy texlive.repo to your /etc/yum.repos.d/, it can be downloaded from:

http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/texlive/texlive.repo

then:

yum install texlive texlive-latex

This will install TeXLive with TeX and LaTeX support.

In case teTeX is already installed on your system and you want to update it to TeXLive, just type:

yum update

And teTeX will be updated to TeXLive.

Note that an upgrade path is not guaranteed to be saved in F8 so if you encounter any problem in your current TeX Live installation after upgrade, please yum remove texlive and reinstall it again. It should solve most of the problems. Interim dvipdfmx may also be problematic, if so yum remove dvipdfmx and reinstall should be enough.

Installing and Using "alien" package converter on Fedora -- deb to rpm

Resolving the font problem in EMACS :

issue the 'xlsfonts | grep courier' in the terminal ans it will list all the possible x-fonts. then from there you can select the possible font and add a line

(set-default-font "your-font-name")

to the .emacs (or .gnu-emacs-custom) file. then restart the emacs session and you can see the effect. e.g. I used the following font name in my .gnu-emacs-custom file.

(set-default-font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1")
