The usetex support in pdf is now a little better, so I am enabling it now. At least it is more entertaining than NotImplementedError...
I have fixed some of the biggest problems (the broken font embedding causing crashes of Preview.app, and the lack of virtual font support). It still makes some assumptions about the TeX distribution: you need kpsewhich and pdftex.map, so on TeX Live or (I presume) teTeX you are fine, but I have no idea about Windows. Transformations of Type-1 fonts are not implemented, so if you try to use $\alpha$ with Times, TeX typesets an alpha from Symbol and slants it, but you get the non-slanted version. Fixing this (and adding subsetting support) probably requires a complete Type-1 parser. There is support for baseline alignment, but it is based on finding the baseline of the lowest character, so subscripts will throw it off. A good solution will require some TeX magic. Reports of bugs (or successes) are welcome. -- Jouni K.
