via mail from dima.pasechnik@... -8<----------------------------------------- Current TeXLive's Gentoo xelatex fails to work with pstricks. (the symptoms are the same as in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250323) This can be traced down to Gentoo's dvipdfmx.cfg The problem is in the call to "rungs" on line 159. It is called with -dSAFER option, but for pstricks to work one needs -dNOSAFER Note that in the same file there is a comment on the need to use -dNOSAFER, as follows: %% In TeX Live, we use the rungs wrapper instead of ps2pdf, becuse we %% must omit the -dSAFER which ps2pdf specifies: in order for pstricks %% to work with xetex, %% /usr/local/texlive/*/texmf-dist/dvips/pstricks/pstricks.pro (for %% example) needs to be accessed. Somehow Gentoo ignores it, but it really is crucial. Upstream has a (recent) workaround. It provides scripts xetex-unsafe and xelatex-unsafe, for xetex+pstricks+transparency (cf. https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/commit/2e92bef787fa6cc17b87e7cf765216dac7438537) Reproducible: Always
Thanks. I realised just now I actually have an account on this tracker.
