Thanks for the reply. there is no difference between windows/mac/linux with regards to tex; it all depends on what other tools and editors you want to use; here we use all platforms mixed: we use windows for development and projects (most convenient for the kind of work we do), linux for (web) server based apps including tex (quite stable); and we will start using macs for some projects, and maybe also as a replacement for the linux file/mail/etc servers (best interface/hardware) Because i want to post a new context zip with svg support, today i spent the whole day trying to get the latest gtk libs on the one year old linux suse 9.1 server; it took me a few minutes to install inkscape on xp but i've given up on linux (it needs tons of latest greatest libs that one need to compile and put in the right non-conflicting places so I will try again when i've received suse 9.3); installing fonts in a tex system is easier -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
