Sorry, I have sent an incorrect, unchecked patch, please ignore it. My idea for fix is the same: do not rely on what tex engines are used by latex and pdflatex.
Here is a correct patch: --- /root/40xmltex.cnf 2005-04-21 16:42:54.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40xmltex.cnf 2005-11-28 21:27:43.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -xmltex tex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini -pdfxmltex pdftex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini +xmltex latex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini +pdfxmltex pdflatex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini That is: change the tex engine used to that of the format you build upon. This supposes that latex is a symlink to the tex engine of the latex format but you assume this anyway by making xmltex to be a symlink to latex. Similar remark apply to pdfxmltex and pdflatex. I think this bug is already reported in bug #338327. Please consider merging the bugs. Best wishes, Gabor Braun -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
