Yes I read the WIKI maybe 5 times, and other documents.
I was unable to makepkg texlive-localmanager-git. I wanted a tool to
manage packages from CTAN. The package I wanted is <specfont>. It is
included in Texlive 2012, but doesn't work. When \usepackage{specfront},
Texmaker returns an error.
Btw, it is not a great deal, but other users have trouble too with the
AUR Texlive Local Manager. Is is same as what is called <tlmgr>?
