Dear Blair,

I have to admit that no, it was not tested. However PyX 0.10 was not tested too. Some long time ago we resolved the windows issues on the old code base for the font handling. Due to a missing Windows test installation this was not repeated lately and we released PyX 0.11 (and 0.11.1). It is known to be broken.

However, after people complained I got a windows setup to test with and now it is tested using MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXLive 2011 in Windows XP. However, I did this this summer und while it now works, we miss a release for this fixed code. As I promised in another email on this list 3 days ago, we will get back to have the latest PyX release known to be working on Windows somewhere in the future. But at the moment I can't make a release. (I have some quite cool but broken layer code for the graphs here, which I did a few months ago but didn't manage to finish and at the moment I don't have time for it. I hope to get back to finializing this in Spring 2012. I'll do the next release once this is done.)

Best,


André
