Does this make XDV files non-portable? It may be that getting the correct font, in the usual case of the XDV being generated and used immediately through a pipe on the same machine, is important enough that this is the Right Thing to do. But I am currently generating and using XDV files in separate steps on a single machine, and it's not hard to imagine someone wanting to do those in separate steps on separate machines. Device-independent files are no longer device-independent if they're tied to one host's filesystem. -- Matthew Skala [email protected] People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
