If autoexpand is used, "ä" is printed. Also the log shows control characters at some points in the trace of the first page, most notably in the fonts names (0a and 00). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=102&group_id=106

pdftex 1.20a-rc7.1 SlantFont limitcheck

Minor point only: In mapfile.c (e. g. current texlive), somehow the absolute value function for SlantFont range check got lost; the line if ((fm_ptr->slant) >= 1000) { should be: if (abs(fm_ptr->slant) >= 1000) { (The abs() _is_ there for ExtendFont check, so it allows even to type e. g. -1.9 ExtendFont with flipped characters; ok, why not :-) Regards, Hartmut

Hi (challenge for Hartmut -) Is it hard to implement something \pdfximage ... colorspace {...} ... {filename} Where the colorspace spec replaces the one present in the graphic? (in addition, \pdflastximagedepth : 0 = no bitmap, 8, 16, 24, 32 =bitmap) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
