... LaTeX, which has fantastic PDF support


I think we're seeing different problems. Mine was caused by a literal 
U+03A9 ("Ω") somewhere in the document. The default LaTeX toolchain for 
the particular project's Sphinx setup wasn't Unicode-aware. Only by 
changing one config line from "pdflatex" to "xelatex" did the manual 
compile.


I'm not professionally involved in typesetting any more, but the most 
recent, most capable Unicode/multilingual typesetting system I've seen 
is a version of troff. Neatroff - http://litcave.rudi.ir/ - handles 
bidirectional typesetting and Opentype ligatures for scripts that use 
different glyphs depending on their place in a word.


cheers,
 Stewart

I got two copies of this message from o1bigtenor.
Once last Tuesday, and once today.  Odd.

The message I got today included these two chunks in the header.

It looks like it has been sitting in a queue on penguin for most of
the week.

Did anyone/everyone else get two copies of this?
