I was happy with old install, with bugs and xetex low level commands :-)
So, er, which strategy you gurus suggest?
Reinstall from scratch (old) TeXLive 2007 waiting for a new release?
I have that project of typesetting our journal which will start in a
month.
(I'd like to use system fonts, also to approximate the original
typesetting)
Thanks
Best

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
