Bug 176895 – [stable] app-text/xetex-0.995 app-text/xdvipdfmx-0.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joshua (RETIRED) 2007-05-03 08:32:33 UTC]

Both have been in the tree for well over a month with no changes.  Need to be stabilized together, or at least xdvipdfmx before xetex.

Thanks.

Sparc stable for both.  These have been working well for us since late last October.

Actually, you now need app-text/xdvipdfmx-0.4 (which was just added to the tree) or your results can be depressing (xdvipdfmx-0.3 likes to silently SegFault on many TTF fonts, such as Charis SIL; version -0.4 claims to have fixed that.  I think it has.)

Now, there is an improved ebuild in the works at Bug 191815.  This would be a good time to make the new ebuild an -r1 release, take everyone back to ~arch in it, and add an
RDEPEND=">app-text/xdvipdfmx-0.3"
which would much improve xetex on some fonts.
