No. Only patched sources are available, patched binaries are not. > That is most certainly not the case.

I'm sorry. I was already wondering how one could have TL 2011 on Ubuntu (I have never heard of Ubuntu switching to TL 2011), but as I already said: even if one is using original TeX Live 2011, the synctex bugs leading to non-working synchronisation in TeXworks are still present. (I don't understand why binaries are not rebuilt.) Mojca -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
