Hello, I just updated my TeXlive 2009 installation the other day from CTAN and am having a problem with some shortcut macros I was using to make indexing easier. I have a shortest working example attached as test.tex, and the log file as well. I've summarised the things which can and can't be changed in the test file. Essentially, if I have a \newcommand which creates an index entry and specifies the output formatting of that entry, while using Polyglossia, I get an error. The error is:<br>
<br>! Missing control sequence inserted.<br><inserted text> <br> \inaccessible <br>l.7 \item {\ttfamily \def r<br> m{tt}lambda}, \hyperpage{1}<br><br>Which originates from the .ind file produced by makeindex. The error is sort of an obvious problem: that \def should not be there! :-) If I remove Polyglossia, it works. If I remove the text before the index entry, it works. If I call \index directly rather than going through my \newcommand, it works. Since the most interesting piece of evidence seemed to be the Polyglossia aspect, I tried checking out from Git an older version (specifically, 1.1.0b: commit ae0df19e5759a01cf973) and placing the polyglossia.sty and gloss-english.ldf into the current directory, and this makes it work again. This is my current workaround, since I've got a fairly important document which relies on macros like \broken, but it's not sustainable. If I can provide further help tracking down the origin of this, please let me know. I'm using TeXlive 2009 fully updated as of today on Linux x86_64, both Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04.<br>
