Is it true that \pdfmapline{} acts like \pdfmapfile{} ?

yes. The timing of both commands is the same, and the argument string for \pdfmapline is handled nearly like a filename, only that it later is scanned as if coming from a nameless mapfile with a single mapline only. Both commands come also with similarly functioning qualifiers +-=. I thought that would help for consistency.

...

isn't the intended behaviour:

\pdfmapline{} -> ignore \pdfmapfile{} -> resets all map file entries

Not for me, maybe i have misunderstood you. Sure it's easy to change that an empty \pdfmapline{} would just be ignored. You prefer this?

yes, although it does not really matter when it's known behaviour; it's just that i ran into a situation where the mapline was empty and was puzzled about errors [\pdfresetmaplist would be even better combined with ignored empty cases, but it's too late for that now]

Regards, Hartmut

(now slowly trying \pdffontenc & friends, stay tuned :-)

Thanh, this is an extract of Goethe's ballade "Der Zauberlehrling" (The Sorcerer's Apprentice) written in 1797.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was by far the most famous German poet.

And during his trip to the Harz mountains (1783-1785) he visited the same hotel as you did during the DANTE-2000 at Clausthal.

BTW., he complained about the bad weather, and you certainly know why. Do you remember?

certainly :) Cheers, Thanh
