Yes, I agree. But I do not have a good idea either. > Why I do not understand also is why we have a useXetex and not a > usePDFtex? The problem is probably that I do not know well enough what > xetex is about. Because XeTeX is significantly different from the other tex processors (LaTeX, PDFLaTeX). We have to do many specific things when XeTeX is selected (starting from the encoding, ending at specific packages and font interfaces). The bool just helps identifying the situation. (IOW, it is the "marked" case). But I'm grateful for any idea to make the framework more transparent. Jürgen
