It prevents users from running updmap, thus one is unable to customize font maps. 2) TEXMFCONFIG = ${TEXMFSYSCONFIG} I don't know the role of this one, but it probably works like TEXMFVAR; see similar comments in texmf.cnf: % TEXMFVAR = $HOME/.texmf-var # teTeX 3.0 default % TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texmf-config # teTeX 3.0 default 3) TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST} TEXMFLOCAL should appear before TEXMFMAIN, or customized versions of packages will be ignored in favor of standard ones! See also this comment: % For texconfig to work properly, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be named % explicitly and before all other trees. Thanks for the work integrating texlive!
