A Change in the TinyTeX Installation Path on Windows

Read Original

The article explains a technical issue where TinyTeX, a LaTeX distribution for R, fails on Windows if the user's APPDATA path contains spaces or non-ASCII characters, causing errors like 'no appropriate script or program found: fmtutil'. The author details the troubleshooting process and announces the fix in the tinytex R package version 0.49, which changes the default installation path to avoid these problematic characters.
