RE: dvipdfmx bug

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Thank you, ChoF, for your quick reply. I do not know how to compile dvipdfmx 
so I will try your changes to spec-dpx.tex.

Maybe Fabrice can compile the latest dvipdfmx for windows?

Question: how do I determine the version number of my dvipdfmx? My present one 
came from the context distribution of 16-08-05?

All the best
Idris

I did this, regenerated the formats, but it still does not work. My dvipdfmx 
comes from mswincontext 16-08-05, but checking the properties of the dvipdfmx 
executable indicates that it was created on 08-03-05. Maybe it's too old.

Anyway, hopefully someone can help with an up-to-date executable!

Dear Knights of the TeX Table,

If there is anyone out there who can compile the latest dvipdfmx for windows 
and post it/send it to me I would be very grateful!
