@ -171,6 +171,15 @@ Missing Libraries
With a barebones LFS install, the following TeXLive 2023 installed
binaries have missing shared library dependencies.
Note that without these libraries installed, I was able to use TeXLive
2023 within LFS 11.3 to compile TeX projects originally authored in
LuaLaTeX without any problems.
Most if not all of the missing shared library dependencies will be met
once an LFS/BLFS 11.3 system has the X11 windowing system installed.
I do not believe TeXLive has been ported to pure Wayland yet.

The `mf` program is metafont and is used to generate TeX native fonts.
In this day in age, generally OpenType fonts are used for new LaTeX
projects and at least with LuaLaTeX, a barebones LFS install has what
is needed to deal with those. However sometimes older LaTeX projects
will want metafont available. My *memory* is that when compiling a
document that uses Type 1 (Postscript) fonts and the font was not
present, the LaTeX compiler itself would call metafont to compile a
substitute from metafont source at the needed DPI. It's probably a
substitute from metafont source at the needed DPI. It is probably a
good idea to have metafont working.
