1. In evince under linux, the file looked fine, no problems were apparent. what about xpdf and ghostscript? Can you also try with mupdf ?
That wasn't the point, I was not trying to give a comparative table of pdf-viewers. luatex was buggy, but some viewers displayed the pdf nonetheless. Doesn't make sense to test a dozen viewers because next time around, the subset which does or does not work may be totally different.
Not dozen, only 2~3 but code independent .My choices are 1) xpdf (same codebase of luatex) 2)acroread (the most important viewer for pdf ) 3) ghostscript (also used by context ) They are all used / important for TeX community and printing house. mupdf comes from ghostscript team , it's quick but young, it comes with some interesting cmdline tools . Until now I was not able to use it as viewer in everyday use, so I don't know if it's good or not for checking pdf made by luatex I believe that Taco knows mupdf better than me. -- luigi
