[Our compile server stay at the 2005.01.30 version and does not upgrade any more to ensure the document will always produce the same result during the years.] But usually I will use luatex for personal purpose like composing my essays. but I still use pdftex or etex-> dvipdfmx to prepare the draft documents before the final luatex compilation since they are quite fast (inasmuch as my old computer [Core 2 Duo T5050, 1G Mem] cannot suffice for such huge mem/cpu usage footprint). On the final compilation, I only adjust the layout and fonts. So LuaTeX is nice and can produce much better results at the cost of memory and speed ^_^ (and sometimes mkiv will run into problems and does not work as expected, so I have no choice but to downgrade the minimals) > >> BTW, the latest dvipdfmx driver supports metafun, as announced on the >> official web page of dvipdfmx. > > That's nice :) > > Mojca > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the > Wiki! > > maillist : [email protected] / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > Yue Wang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
