[pstricks] Using pstricks with Lua - is it possible?

[Hensh, Richard]

Thanks Herbert. The new style file works as advertised. 

The minimal example below illustrates a follow-up problem. Specifically, autoPdf.pdf is missing the label $y=x^2$. It seems unlikely that this is a PSTricks problem but it would appear that, at least for the time being, we are unable to use the new fontspec features inside of a pspicture 
environment.

There are several command line errors, but the most relevant appears to be:

%%% Begin error message
' LuaTeX output 2012.03.24:1838' -> autoPdf-autopp.ps
Trying to make PK font name:XITSMath:mode=base;script=math;language=DFLT; at 8000 DPI...
miktex-makepk: Specified BDPI (8000) doesn't match ljfzzz resolution (1200).
dvips: Font name:XITSMath:mode=base;script=math;language=DFLT; not found; characters will be left blank.
dvips: Can't open font metric file name:XITSMath:mode=base;script=math;language=DFLT;.tfm
dvips: I will use cmr10.tfm instead, so expect bad output.
dvips: ! invalid char 8722 from font name:XITSMath:mode=base;script=math;language=DFLT;
%%% End error message

Notice that miktex-makepk seems to ignore the default option (dvips={-Ppdf}). Changing the printer resolution (via config.ps) to match the BDPI resolution to 8000 doesn't help. Here's the error message.

I've emailed the package author about this but I have not heard back. And I don't know enough about extending packages to write something myself.

With this version
  http://texnik.dante.de/tex/latex/auto-pst-pdf/auto-pst-pdf.sty

you can simply use:

\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

instead of

> \usepackage[latex={--output-format=dvi}]{auto-pst-pdf}
