I just tested fontspec.pdf, which revealed a couple issues with the xpdfrc file and language resources, which I've now fixed. I also believe this fixes the Japanese language problem that Charles Plessy encountered. I've uploaded a new version to mentors for testing/review: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xpdf I would be very appreciative if someone were able to review and sponsor this package. I think it is rather important to get a supportable xpdf shipped with squeeze :) Thanks, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
