To answer my own question, apparently the command to use is fmtutil. But to
recreate the *.fmt file one needs a *.ini file. Eric, jadextex.ini and
pdfjadextex.ini are currently not included in the jadetex package.
Apparently, you also require configuration lines in fmtutil.cnf. On my
Debian system these configuration lines are kept in a special location for
the jadetex package, and the whole special fmtutil.cnf is
# jadefmtutil.cnf: configuration file for fmtutil; jade flavor.
# invoke with 'fmtutil -cnffile <file>'
#
# format engine pattern-file arguments
jadetex tex language.dat &latex jadetex.ini
pdfjadetex pdftex language.dat &pdflatex pdfjadetex.ini
Eric, could you please provide this special configuration file and
jadetex.ini and pdfjadetex.ini with the Cygnus jadetex package? Without it
I don't believe we can change the sizes of anything with the ftmutil
command. (I have tried fmtutil --all, and it redoes every *.fmt file
*except* for jadetex.fmt and pdfjadetex.fmt, and I believe the cause is
these missing files from your jadetex package.
Thanks in advance.
Alan
