some tests for upTeX

  Submitting a MiKTeX problem report

Dear Christian Schenk, thanks for you add upTeX in MiKTeX. I do some tests with a MWE and font configure, find some missings:

1. missing ckx.map, I don't know whether need to add other *.map files

   I found it in dvipdfm-w32.tar.xz of W32TeX, but dvipdfm-w32.tar.xz include other .map files such as cid-x.map, I don't know how to merge it with MikTeX's cid-x.map file

2. missing some ptex/pltex/uptex/upltex... basic packages (ptex-fontmaps) when I build MWE , it can't download automatically. I suggest you can add them in setup file, or can download automatically

   dvipdfmx:warning: Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "upgbm-v".
   dvipdfmx:warning: >> There are no valid font mapping entry for this font.
   dvipdfmx:warning: >> Font file name "upgbm-v" was assumed but failed to locate that font.
   dvipdfmx:fatal: Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF output...
   

3. missing some binary file for Japanese font configure, such as:

   kanji-config-updmap.exe
   kanji-config-updmap-sys.exe
   kanji-config-updmap-user.exe
   kanji-fontmap-creator.exe
   

   I don't know whether missing other binary files.

   And I don't know whether missing such "kanji-config-updmap*.exe" files, so these commands can't run successfully:

   kanji-config-updmap-sys.sh status
   

   kanji-config-updmap-sys.sh --sc adobe
   kanji-config-updmap-sys.sh --tc adobe
   

   but I can run successfully in TeX Live 2021

4. when I build another project, it shows many errors like this:

   LaTeX Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte "8A
   

   I need add \UseRawInputEncoding at the start of the file. But all my *.tex files are UTF-8. When I use TeX Live 2021 to build it, no such errors. I don't know whether missing some other files for upTeX.

5. I don't know why ptex/uplatex... format display to exclude in MiKTeX Console (Admin) -> Settings -> Formats, what are they used for?

6. can you add upLaTeX in TeXWorks typesetting also?

7. btw, the chinese translation missing translate Documentation in MiKTeX Console interface, and some buttons, e.g. finish, cancel

another issue:
upLaTeX can't expand $WINDIR to C:\Windows,

MWE.tex (must build in Windows 10):

% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
% !TeX program = uplatex+dvipdfmx
\documentclass[fontset=windows]{ctexart}

\begin{document}

正文：“\textit{意大利}\textbf{粗体}”

\textsf{无衬线\textbf{粗体}}

\texttt{打字机}

{\songti 宋体：“\textbf{粗体}”}

{\heiti 黑体\textbf{粗体}}

{\kaishu 楷书\textbf{粗体}}

{\fangsong 仿宋\textbf{粗体}}

{\yahei 雅黑体\textbf{粗体}}

{\lishu 隶书} 

{\youyuan 幼圆}

\end{document}

when build dvipdfmx mwe.dvi, it complains no msyh.ttf in Windows 10. The reason is upLaTex can't recognize $WINDIR in ctex-fontset-windows.def:

but the MWE can build successfully in TeX Live.
