Thanks for your suggestion, I applied this change. > Irrelevant aside: xelatex handles included eps, pdf and jpg images, UTF-8 > text, and as far as I can tell pstricks so much more easily than pdflatex. > Are there some downsides to it as well?

The most notable limitation of XeLaTeX is its support in microtype package, see for example the table at page 7 of microtype manual or http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/118713/31416. In addition in some cases xelatex can be slower than pdflatex in compiling, but it uses compact fonts, which result in smaller output, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/14102/31416 and http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/38145/31416 Bye, Mosè _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
