[XeTeX] A "box" in the bottom-left... thank you

[Székely Gábor Balázs]

Thank you Axel, Jonathan and Peter,

yes, at first I tried the letter.cls, I'm not really stick with it, I  
thought there could be a solution that's more generic than a given  
class, but if not, it is not really a problem. As you suggested, I  
will examine with much attention the akletter class (for the moment I  
haven't found some English documentation of scrlttr2).

I will see the rule length, maybe I'll just drop that.

Maybe really a special footer just on the first page, with  
fancyheader, will be the solution.

Well, the word processor isn't really doing anything extraordinarily  
wrong, just the fact that if I put there that piece of text (the  
recipient's address), it isn't a floating element, but rather just  
part of the text which can reflow if something changes above. And how  
do I get the rule length in a wp? Well, guess what, manually in every  
single letter ;) That's one reason I'm trying XeTeX so that we could  
drop more and more manual work and concentrate on real content. :)

Jonathan's solution seems to work in the case of a one-page letter.  
And I will have a look at the float package as well. Further  
experimentation comes:)

And to fulfill Peter's immagination, I created an example of these  
letters which more or less contains the things we usually put there.

Oh and just a little problem,

> \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Adobe Garamond Pro}

drops an error when compiling ("! Undefined control sequence."), I  
used what I put in my thesis, that was

> \setromanfont[Numbers=Uppercase]{Adobe Garamond Pro}

and that works. Maybe I have a bit older version of the MacTeX  
package and that's why it complains about the error ("MacTeX  
November, 2006").

And again, many thanks to all you!
