Hi, Thanks to Hans, most tests now run deterministically and the generated PDFs are identical down to the last bit. Remaining are - some tests that depend on the key order of hash (which varies from run to run) - some test that depend on when, or for how long, the test executes. - a bug. Difference is invisible, but PDF differs Also, some tests depend on non-standard, possibly commercial, fonts. To run the test, these options to context are suggested: --nocompression --randomseed=471174 --nodates --trailerid=1 Fixes are available the the very latest beta, and in the latest test archive. I have attached my "skip list" of files not to include in the test. /Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lars Hamrén WWW...: www.sdu.se Vadmöllan 211 Mobile: +46(705)189090 S-225 94 Lund Sweden
