latext beta + xetex

latext beta + xetex

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

there's a bug somewhere in the latest beta when using it with XeTeX  
(which I normally don't use, but I have a stubborn pdf file which  
luatex refuses to embed...). Simple testfile

\starttext

Hello world

\stoptext

produces a spurious "sss" in the output.

All best

Thomas

Hi all,

may be I face the same problem here. I have metapost-drawings  
compiled with luatex 0.35. Inserting those in a text file does not  
work, I get "dummy,file:groningse-tekeningen,state=unknown".
On the other hand issuing \insertpages[groningse-tekeningen] inserts  
the drawings.

Surprisingly when taking a metapost-drawings-file from another  
project and compile them with luatex 0.35, inserting them in a  
textfile is normal.


Is your file also containing Metapost/Metafun code?

Willi

Nope, and it turned out the pdf file does embed, I had a typo in one  
of the module files...

But the bug in XeTeX is still real!

All best
