Re: [PyX-user] textrunner, xetex

[André W. <wo...@us...>]

Dear René,

just a very quick response, also for my own reference for the future.

Right now we do not support anything else than the original dvi format as defined by Donald Knuth. Seems like this original dvi format is called version 2, and it looks like there are extensions: http://dvisvgm.bplaced.net/ talks about version 3 (related to etex) and 5 to 7 (related to xetex).

As an additional reference https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/282763/how-does-xelatex-and-lualatex-extend-the-dvi-format talks about 2 additional commands, 252 (define nativ font) and 253 (set glyphs). Details need to be taken from the .web source as far as I can see. Anyway, those additions might be added to the PyX dvi engine somewhere in the future. But don't count on that in the near future. Given the very slow (but still remaining) development efforts on PyX, this will surely take years to be addressed. I'm sorry for that.

Best,


André
