  • PGF and TikZ -- Graphic systems for TeX

    Martin Gieseking (dvisvgm developer) has written me the following: Some time ago, Till Tantau, the main author of pgf wrote me an email and asked whether I could add a dvi special that allows embedding of raw svg code, since this is a prerequisite for pgf support. I was quite busy at that time and wasn't able to work on the code. But in the meantime it has been done. dvisvgm recognizes a...

  • Followup: RE: arrow and arrowhead size

    >You miss my point --- a document will use many arrows made by LaTeX (or by amscd or by xrightarrow etc. ) and the additional diagrams made by pgf/tikz should match these. The arrows made by LaTeX commands such as \longrightarrow are font-dependent. Do you intend to design pgf arrows for every available math font? > adjusting arrows and their heads in pgf/tikz appears to be...

  • Followup: RE: arrow and arrowhead size

    You could re-define \longrightarrow to use a pgf arrow. But why are you re-inventing the wheel to do commutative diagrams? There are several macro packages available. My favorite is John Reynolds's diagmac package, available here: ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/user/jcr/ The latex limitations on edge slopes can be sidestepped by using pict2e. Bob T.

  • Comment: g keystroke truncates trailing zeroes

    Thanks. The workaround works for me. I'll leave the bug open till it (presumably) is fixed in the next release.

  • Comment: font files in log file

    Thanks but I'm surprised that you think font-file locations would be "clutter". The log file records the location of every package and sub-package used in processing and we all know how useful that is. Font-name clashes aren't unusual. I must have several versions of Courier on my system; if I don't remember to use "Courier Std", I won't get the right ones. If I purchase otf fonts, do I have...

  • font files in log file

    I suggest that the font files used by xelatex be listed in the log file by default. AFAIK the only way to see the locations of the fonts used is to use the option --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -v" which is hardly intuitive. Fontconfig will find the first font it finds with the desired name and if this happens to be a pfb or ttf, xelatex will have problems. Reference...

  • Comment: blank images in Fedora Core 6

    If in FC6 I revert to gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-22.i386.rpm (for FC5), danpei works correctly. So gdk-pixbuf is involved but whether the bug is in danpei or in gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-30.fc6 I couldn't say.
