[XeTeX] Xparse is broken!

2011-11-23 Thread Ari Meir Brodsky
I've updated to the most recent versions of packages from MikTeX, and xparse seems to be broken, causing all the great features of XeLaTeX not to work. In particular, line 59 of xparse.sty is looking for a newer version of expl3 (dated 2011/11/19 or later), but the newest expl3 is dated 2011/10/09

[XeTeX] Suggestion for xelatex.ini (enlarging math families from 16 to 256)

2011-11-23 Thread Vafa Khalighi
Hi Since XeTeX allows you to have 256 math families instead 16, I was wondering if this could be done in xelatex.ini. The required changes are: \def\new@mathgroup{\alloc@8\mathgroup\chardef\@cclvi} \let\newfam\new@mathgroup \def\select@group#1#2#3#4{% \ifx\math@bgroup\bgroup\else\relax\expandaft
