[pstricks] PSTricks Digest, Vol 79, Issue 18

[John Was]

Hello

In case it is of any relevance, PSTricks works perfectly (as far as I have 
used it at least) in the latest XeTeX version (as in the TeXLive 
distribution) - XeTeX and its LaTeX flavour XeLaTeX both write PDF files 
directly (like PDFTeX), but they have been tweaked to invoke GhostScript on 
the fly so that the background processing is invisible to the user and the 
resultant PDF has the PSTricks code correctly rendered without any further 
intervention.

I *think* it will normally be the case the PDFTeX files should process 
perfectly well unde XeTeX, since XeTeX has available to it all the fonts 
that are loaded on the system.

Worth a try at least!


John
