Hello, I'm sorry for cross-posting, but this issue is a really nasty one (and might come too late for some). If you use OpenType fonts in your TeX documents, don't update your Mac OS X unless you want to have some serious fun with printing ... http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20048314-263.html http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2791830 ... a workaround that worked for me (for PostScript printers only) was the following: I used http://localhost:631/help for help and ended up doing lpstat -p to get printer name and then lp -d some_very_weird_printer_name_ myfile.pdf to send the file to a PostScript printer. I wasn't sure whether it was an OS issue or LuaTeX issue (I updated both), but Florian on ntg-context mailing list posted the above links which most probably makes XeTeX users vulnerable as well.

most likely no, it's only (cosmetic) code shuffling for better maintainability and extensibility... Regards, Hartmut
