@ Dr. Joachim Trinkwitz I see now the possibilities behind KOMA-Script and memoir. I'll read the documentation (almost 1000 pages I think) and choose between these two solutions (the one which is simpler and more customizable). For now I found a neat solution, in case anyone asked: (just using ti

I agree that the code is weird (and it looks to me as if it is actually wrong), but I cannot see any reason to believe that it leads to iteration or recursion. Philip Taylor Peter Dyballa wrote: The cause is that your code is faulty: \newfontinstance\dhivehifontA{Mv Elaaf Normal} ^^

[XeTeX] command line options for xelatex?

2010-09-05 Thread Alan Munn
What command line options does xelatex allow? Is it more or less the same as for pdflatex with respect to things like output-directory, shell-escape etc.? I don't seem to have a man page for it (TeXLive 2009 on Mac OS.) Thanks Alan -- Alan Munn am...@gmx.com
