Hi, I have uploaded a snapshot of pdftex to pdftex.sarovar.org/src djgpp is also available (pdfetex binaries only). This is a bug-fix release that has all pending patches by Hartmut. The png patch by Taco has also been integrated. A quick summary from NEWS (Martin will make them more meaningful when an official version is released): ,-------- | - patch for PNG support by Taco & Hartmut (259) | | - ignore marginal kerns while unhboxing (292) | | - added \leftmarginkern & \rightmarginkern (292) | | - removed \pdfmovechar (294) | | - added \pdftracingfonts (304) | | - make \pdfxform work with box > 255 (310) | | - added \pdfxformname (requested by Pawel) | | - fixed problem with fonts on solaris (315) | `-------- There are still 2 pending problems: 1) the problem with truetype fonts when a unicode is mapped to 2 or more glyphs. I let pdftex fail in such a cas but still don't know what would be the right thing to do. 2) the problem with dangling object: I changed a few things to fix it but pdf inclusion may be broken now; please do some testing if you can. With the test files by Hartmut at sarovar: now there is a dangling object in yy2.pdf, which is expected if the font used in the included pdf is not used in the main document. Getting rid of this doesn't seem easy. Thanh
sorry but after upgrading my debian box I am no longer able to upload anything to sarovar. Trying hard to get it work ... Thanh On Thu, Apr 14, 2005 at 03:10:40PM +0700, The Thanh Han wrote:

Hi, it's me again. Sorry for the false alarm, the snapshot has been uploaded. Today I will upload another snapshot with the fix for problem with truetype font (just got an answer from Werner Lemberg about what should be the correct behaviour). If someone can do some testing with pdf inclusion, it would be much helpful. Thanh On Thu, Apr 14, 2005 at 05:11:35PM +0700, The Thanh Han wrote:

Hi, I have uploaded a new snapshot. Changes: - add "pt" to the result of \leftmarginkern, \rightmarginkern and \pdffontsize - change pdftex to generate a warning instead of failing when a ttf font has multiple glyphs mapped to the same unicode Thanh On Fri, Apr 15, 2005 at 08:28:07AM +0700, The Thanh Han wrote:

does pdftex already silently recover when a pdf image is missing or faulty?
