Hello Hans,
I really rarely work on windows recently, but it would be great if the windows minimals would support xetex & fontconfig properly. Currently XeTeX fails to work since some libraries are missing (icuuc34.dll is reported, but others are missing as well).
These was true some time ago: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#XeTeX_Installation
Most things still hold, the only thing is that binaries could now be taken from TeXLive.
This is a list of missing files in bin:
fc-{cache,case,cat,glyphname,lang,list,match}.exe icudt34.dll icule34.dll icuuc34.dll TECkit_x86.dll
I don't know what these are, but they might be needed as well (no idea): nkf.exe ole32.dll oleaut32.dll rpcrt4.dll
hm, what a mess, why isn't there a statically linked xetex ... i don't want the minimals to grow beyond reason so i need the real minimal list of needed dll's
I don't have the TeXLive here, but if you take a look into ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/TeX/win32/xetex-w32.tar.bz2 the following is also *really* needed: - texmf/fonts/ {everything except opentype}
why? what;s in there then that context needs?
(-doc/xetex/XeTeX-reference and xetex-guide might be useful, but not needed)
"Setting up fontconfig" still holds as written on the wiki. Would it be possible to add these files and fontconfig settings? I would really like to remove that portion of instructions from the wiki.
hm, i don't want to add docu for every tex thing ... else it's no longer minimal Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
