Dear Akira, With up-to-date pretest MacTeX-2021 I get the same as Herbert, and cannot reproduce your output: % xdvipdfmx TransparencyTest.xdv xdvipdfmx:warning: Invalid char in fontmap line: D xdvipdfmx:warning: Invalid map record in fontmap line 27044 from pdftex.map. xdvipdfmx:warning: -- Ignore the current input buffer: * zd Dingbats <uzdr.pfb TransparencyTest.xdv -> TransparencyTest.pdf [1 **** WARNING: .setopacityalpha is deprecated (as of 9.53.0) and will be removed in a future release **** See .setfillconstantalpha/.setalphaisshape for the improved solution **** WARNING: .setopacityalpha is deprecated (as of 9.53.0) and will be removed in a future release **** See .setfillconstantalpha/.setalphaisshape for the improved solution ] 7945 bytes written To be sure I tried xdvipdfmx -vvv, the output is at the end of this message: there's a lot of font-related info, but no indication pstricks.pro is read at any time. We compile gs with --disable-compile-inits. I thought this might play a role, so I compiled a fresh new gs-9.53.3 using just configure && make && sudo make install. Same result, no problem applying xdvipdfmx to TransparencyTest.xdv. Do you use any specific flag when compiling gs? Or maybe xdvipdfmx calls gs differently on the Mac and on Windows? Regarding dvipdfmx.cfg, here's what's on my tlpretest installation (kept up-to-date with tlmgr): %% $Id: dvipdfmx.cfg 38778 2015-11-05 00:08:29Z karl $ %% $Id: dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg 58412 2021-03-15 22:30:13Z karl $ It seems to correspond to the latest (58413) version of the dvipdfmx package.
