well, i still use texfont for type 1 fonts, but for open type i use luatex anyway which can handle it directly (actually, mkiv also usese afm files instead of tfm when available, so texfont is not needed any more)
How stable/reliable is LuaTeX for general use?
Well, "not at all" is the wisest answer I can give.
Is it possible to run both (mkiv/LuaTeX and mkii/pdfTeX) in parallel?
Certainly. In the past year, I have been happy running all of these at the same time:
texexec | texexec --pdftex % engine=pdftex texexec --aleph % engine=aleph texexec --luatex % engine=luatex texexec --xetex % engine=xetex
Is there a phrase or a sentence that will describe the distinguishing characteristcs and/or status of each of these choices? Well, we know about the first one :<) I am bewildered by the rapid changes. -- John Culleton _________________________________________________________________ Need personalized email and website?
