[MkII] Difference in output in minimals versus TeX Live 2009
Hi, is minimals supposed to have the same output using MkII as TeX Live 2009? Or have I missunderstood what does it mean that 'MkII is frozen'? I ask because I get different results on same document. I'm using Palatino font. It seems related to spacing between letters in "il" and "ij" that is larger in current minimals. Any ideas why? -- Vedran Miletić

It is declared frozen, but it may still happen that something changes unintentionally (and bugs that are easy to fix might be fixed as well).

No. Can you please send a sample tex & both pdf documents? (If it's bigger than 40 or 60 kb, you need to post it somewhere.) There was a big difference between TL 2008 and now (when the whole font has been replaced from URW to TeX Gyre), but I see no reason why you should get a different result now. Mojca

All three are in: http://www.ri.linux.hr/soiletak.zip Hope it helps. -- Vedran Miletić
I suspect (though I don't really know) that the difference comes from different versions of TeX Gyre. There's a quick experiment you can do: rsync -av \ /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre/ \ /path/to/minimals/tex/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre/ (unless you want to make a backup, but you can quickly revent to the old state anyway by updating the minimals.) The weird thing is that it may be that the minimals contain an older version, but I can fix that soon (I need to double-check why the font didn't get updated automatically since many other fonts do).

Yeah, that fixes it. Can you double-check? -- Vedran Miletić

The reason was very weird: we wanted to be early adopters, so we were syncing from GUST even before the latest version of fonts became available to CTAN. But once the fonts became available on CTAN, I forgot to switch from "the latest zip" back to CTAN, so even when a new version came out months later, we kept syncing from that "latest version zip". The latest version should be online now. I hope. Mojca
