At the moment I am not yet seriously into direct pdf Right, concerning dvi I think the only advantage of later version is that pdftex does not load the map file when in dvi mode. Saves some milliseconds. > interface : nl Ok, so the dutch interface is loaded. TeXexec tries to be clever and parses the file first. It does not find an english clue. You can force an interface in the file itself (btw also this seems to be a web2c feature but I'm not sure about that). When you add the first line: % interface=en to the tex file, you force texexec into using cont-en. Other directives concern the program (tex,pdftex,..) and the format. Forget about those. Some day I will use this feature to sort out versions (like, running a 5 year old context format).
