[MiKTeX Portable] fontconfig configs use full path about miktex

[edocevoli]

The fontconfig files should be regenerated if you start the MiKTeX task bar icon.

You mean "Refresh FNDB" button in MiKTeX Options?

[edocevoli]

No, I mean the taskbar icon which you get when you run miktex-portable.cmd.

Seems, we talk about the same thing - "MiKTeX Options" is accessible from task bar icon contex menu.
I should mention, I run my custom texstudio.bat

@echo off

REM (  This script should be located on the top of MiKTeX Portable    )
REM (  i.e. in the same directory with miktex-portable.cmd            )

set MIKTEX=%~dp0
set TSX=%MIKTEX%TexStudio

REM (  TeX Directory Structure (TDS) does not specify the location of )
REM (  executable programs. Default MiKTeX binaries:                  )

set MKTX_BIN=%MIKTEX%texmfs\install\miktex\bin

REM (  Path to MiKTeX executables and external programs.              )
REM (  Add more paths here if required. Use semicolon as separator.   )

set path=%MKTX_BIN%;%MIKTEX%tools\gnuplot\bin

REM ( We dont change CWD (%MIKTEX%) and run TexStudio                 )
REM ( All relative paths in the TexStudio options                     )
REM ( should be counted from the CWD                                  )

start "" "%TSX%\texstudio.exe"

As you can see its does not contain miktex-taskbar-icon.exe...
After running MiKTeX task bar icon all absolute paths became valid, at least drive letter has been corrected.
I'm totally fine with this - part of the blame lies on me. See no problem to add miktex-taskbar-icon.exe to the batch.

[rend3r]

Could you provide short description what is miktex-taskbar-icon attend to do?

[edocevoli]

On startup the task-bar icon program runs this command:

initexmf --mkmaps

This will refresh the fontconfig configuration files. I would recommend that you add this command tour your custom batch file.

Thank you for your explanations.
