Are you able to?
FWIW, for me XeTeX works, but LuaTeX fails completely - trying to convert to PDF results in errors after a *long* period of churning. I think maybe the central one is: ! fontspec error: "font-not-found" ! ! The font "DejaVuSans" cannot be found. (Strange, since XeTeX found it just fine.) > More generally, I agree that both XeTeX and LuaTeX work very well in > my experience. > > Scott -- Will
