Now you're getting fancy! :) I've already said the current specials are pretty broken with respect to image inclusion. Running MetaPost/MetaFun is one step beyond that, still. I'll treat it as a feature request, but it's getting a bit beyond my ken... >^^@:35: Extra tokens will be flushed. ><to be read again> > Hoefler >l.35 defaultfont:=""Hoefler > Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs""; > > >I don't try to have MP write any text itself, so I don't care for >defaultfont.

Yeah, I'm not familiar with how defaultfont even gets set, there. A minimal-but-complete test file (that would work with pdfetex, say) could be really helpful in terms of getting the feature going on my end...

more nath patches
by Christopher Creutzig 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Salvete, I finally managed to make t-nath work with \eqalign and \eqalignno. (I assume I was not the only one having trouble there?) As it appears, nath gets really confused when subformulas are enclosed in {} and contain some form of delimiters. Therefore, the original definitions just don't work, but these modifications do, at least in some sense of “work”: \def\eqalignno#1% {\displ@y \tabskip\centering \vcenter{% \openup\jot\m@th \halign to \displaywidth {\hfil{\startnathdmath\@lign ##\stopnathdmath}\tabskip\z@skip &{\startnathdmath\@lign {}##\stopnathdmath}\hfil\tabskip\centering &\llap{$\@lign##$}\tabskip\z@skip\crcr #1\crcr}}} \def\eqalign#1% {\null \,% \vcenter {\openup \jot\m@th \ialign {\strut\hfil{\startnathdmath ##\stopnathdmath}&% {\startnathdmath {}##\stopnathdmath}\hfil\crcr #1\crcr}}% \,} And I've got another snippet I'd like to share, which helps displaying continued fractions in a linear format, using the “best” way of doing so I've met so far: \def\contfrac#1#2{% % To get the lines at the top right and bottom left % at the correct lengths, we need to know the final heights % of both top and bottom.

Also note that the snippet uses \fracrulethickness@ from t-nath.tex, while I honestly consider using \fontdimen8\textfont3 or whichever font size is in use for the fraction. Well, work in progress. regards, Christopher Creutzig

XeTeX no longer working

Salvete, since mail directly to Adam Lindsay does not seem to get through (I never got a reply, even when asking if it had got through, so I'm assuming it didn't), sorry to everyone not interested in XeTeX.

'german' indention in radio field

Hi there! After a new installation of Texlife my radio field example (4.10.) works (now?). But if you simply add \mainlanguage[de] the first button is indented again.
