Even if you don't actually load the packages, it may be worthwhile to examine the source code of the packages to see how they accomplish these tasks, and then imitate their techniques in your own environment. The packages could be useful in that sense. I think some of the low-level features of the XeTeX engine are only really documented in the source code of the engine and packages, and if you're comfortable working in a Plain TeX environment, the package source code may be easier to understand than the engine source code. -- Matthew Skala [email protected] People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
