imo (1) miktex's pdftex/mp should support --8bit (or tcx files) (2) and silently ignore unknown flags the problem is that in tl 2006/7 natural.tcx is supposed to be shipped with the main tree, but i have no clue if miktex ships that as well (and supports tcx filters); the --8bit flag makes pdftex etc 8 bit clean (roundtrip) Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Hans, for your quick reply. I have a file natural.tcx in tex/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx. I do not quite understand the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me to do? I am using Miktex 2.4.1461. Regards, Robert Op Ma, 27 november, 2006 12:04 pm schreef Hans Hagen:

Thanks Hans, for your quick reply. My MikTeX installation contains a natural.tcx file. I am afraid that I do not quite grasp the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me to do? Kind regards, Robert Op Ma, 27 november, 2006 12:04 pm schreef Hans Hagen:

Already done for ver 2.5 during pre-release testing (see miktex bug: [
1532430 ] 2.5rc1 tex.rb uses "pdfetex --8bit"). Don't use MikTeX 2.4.
