Yes, I knew this...

  ... the coding, which you can see in the file, just uses
LaTeX's \LaTeX  :-)

These examples just show the lack of scalability in the
LaTeX logo's definition.
To make it work right, at arbitrary sizes, would mean doing
the full bit of defining math-families, etc. for the particular
size chosen.


The PicFileLSample.ltx  file isn't meant to be polished example.
Rather, it's a sheet from a workbook, where various things are
being attempted --- not all successfully.



The yellow background comes from testing  \pagecolor ,
which isn't supported by XeTeX yet.


By the way, do you get the  "insufficient math fonts"  message
in the .log, resulting from the  \maketitle  command ?
Does the  author  show on the 1st page ?
For me it does not!
That's another problem to be tracked down. I think it's related
to the failure of CM examples on my installation.


Thanks for looking and reporting.


Cheers

	Ross
