strange behaviour of \mirror inside itemize

strange behaviour of \mirror inside itemize

[Mojca Miklavec]

Try this code out with:

\startitemize
\item \XETEX
\item \PDFETEX
\stopitemize

I have a feeling that \mirror and itemize interfere in a strage manner, 
but I don't understand the underlying code to fix it.

Thank you,
	Mojca


PS: well, as I have to do a short presentation in the evening and 
couldn't wait for an answer, I tried to do a small fix and "apologise" 
for it:

\def\XETEX    {X\lower.5ex\hbox{\kern-.15em{E}}\kern-.1667em\TeX}
{\itx (PS: \XETEX\ should be \XeTeX)} % outside itemize

It seems that I have no luck today! ;)
(Hmm, Slovenian is certainly not the only case where rotated/mirrored 
latin letters are used ;)

Cute little bug!

*extremely* sneaky workaround follows:

   \setbox2=\hbox{\XETEX}
   \def\XETEX{\copy2 }

Greetings, Taco

somehwo pdftex does not like mixed cm usage (i wonder if we need new primive for that \pdfcm or so (similar to what dvipdfmx has)
