Hi all, [preamble to all] I have been helping Jill-Jênn for these days (or, for months). Since I'm not a MacOSX user, I had many hurdles about explaining the multibyte-character typesetting with XeTeX. However, we cleared them and thus now he can produce a PDF as you know.
[contents] > 1) Why dvips imagtitl didn't work, Jean-Pierre Coulon? Although I have no knowledge about this, I guess the problem is in writing font-encoding table into the PDF. That's beyond my skill but I will write what I think about... MusiXTeX fonts uses char0 to char32; ordinally control codes. dvips has a option -G*, Shift low chars to higher pos. (Of course xdvipdfmx does not have such option.) Perhaps using -G* makes no effect, but is there any relation about this? > 3) It's a pity that the Japanese text is a bit grayer than there: > http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/5273/xdvipdfmxwg5.png Using color specials will do, but the syntax is specific on each dvi->pdf translator. Each dvips/dvipdfm/pdftex have different syntax. Using LaTeX a little absorbs the difference but the .tex source is dependent on the software at all. > Isn't it possible to include a PDF instead of a PS file in a TeX file? Possible in xdvipdfmx (in the same way of dvipdfm). I forget the detail.
