Hi,

is minimals supposed to have the same output using MkII as TeX Live
2009? Or have I missunderstood what does it mean that 'MkII is
frozen'?

I ask because I get different results on same document. I'm using
Palatino font. It seems related to spacing between letters in "il" and
"ij" that is larger in current minimals. Any ideas why?

It is declared frozen, but it may still happen that something changes
unintentionally (and bugs that are easy to fix might be fixed as
well).

No. Can you please send a sample tex & both pdf documents? (If it's
bigger than 40 or 60 kb, you need to post it somewhere.)

There was a big difference between TL 2008 and now (when the whole
font has been replaced from URW to TeX Gyre), but I see no reason why
you should get a different result now.

All three are in: http://www.ri.linux.hr/soiletak.zip

Hope it helps.

I suspect (though I don't really know) that the difference comes from
different versions of TeX Gyre. There's a quick experiment you can do:

    rsync -av \
        /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre/ \
        /path/to/minimals/tex/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre/

(unless you want to make a backup, but you can quickly revent to the
old state anyway by updating the minimals.)

The weird thing is that it may be that the minimals contain an older
version, but I can fix that soon (I need to double-check why the font
didn't get updated automatically since many other fonts do).

Yeah, that fixes it. Can you double-check?

The reason was very weird: we wanted to be early adopters, so we were
syncing from GUST even before the latest version of fonts became
available to CTAN.

But once the fonts became available on CTAN, I forgot to switch from
"the latest zip" back to CTAN, so even when a new version came out
months later, we kept syncing from that "latest version zip".

The latest version should be online now. I hope.
