Hi All, reacting to Thanh's request, I put my TUG 2005 presentation on http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/kaskoupy/slides/FreeShapeTextFormatting.pdf I doubt that there can be anything useful understood just from those slides. I should still write a proper paper in next few days, that should be much more clear and complete, you can safely wait for that. I'll also send you the actual prototype with the instructions how to get it running, hopefully tonight. Regards, --ksk
