[Therion] First use of locally compiled Therion: metapost error

[Rodrigo Severo]

Hi,


After managing to compile Therion I went to actually use it.

Just trying to compile the project I'm working on. It gave me the following
error:

####################### metapost log file ########################
This is MetaPost, version 1.999 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (kpathsea version

The two files given above are one of your source files
and an auxiliary file I need to read to find out what your
btex..etex blocks mean. If you don't know why I had trouble,
try running it manually through MPtoTeX, TeX, and DVItoMP



Here is how much of MetaPost's memory you used:
 1898 strings using 45493 characters
 2779320 bytes of node memory
 1422 symbolic tokens
 8i,81n,11p,158b,2f stack positions out of 16i,96n,12p,200b,4f15 output
files written: data.1 .. data.4013


#################### end of metapost log file ####################
therion: error -- metapost exit code -- 768
writing xtherion file ... done


To fix it I had to include the following line on */etc/therion.ini*

tex-fonts raw cmr10 cmti10 cmbx10 cmss10 cmssi10

despite Therion Book stating at page 80 that this is the default setting.

Should this line be uncommented on the default *therion.ini* file?

I can send a patch if this is the right way to solve this issue. Please ley
me know.


Regards,

Rodrigo Severo
