 XeTeX package? Has anybody built/installed XeTeX on slackware? I'm having a few problems with the compilation and would welcome a precompiled package. Thanks a lot, -- Bruno Barberi Gnecco <brunobg_at_users.sourceforge.net> The odds are a million to one against your being one in a million.      |

Do your documents rely on XeTeX-specific features? The XeTeX website indicates that it only runs on Mac OS X... Maybe conditional macros could isolate the platform-specific TeX? http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2...el=conditional - Daniel |

Because installing new fonts in teTeX, specially TTF, is a pain, anx XeTeX seems to solve that problem easily. If you know of an easy way to install TTF fonts in teTeX, I'd like to know it. -- Bruno Barberi Gnecco <brunobg_at_users.sourceforge.net> |

The teTeX maintainer decided to quit maintaining teTeX earlier this year, hence at the present time teTeX is unmaintained, and given its complexity, no one has rushed to replace him. This may be what was meant by "going out of style". Christopher |
