[XeTeX] Formatting dictionaries

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Hi all,

I'm forwarding this to the Dutch latex list, because Piet van Oostrum, the author of fancyhdr, will read it an get back to you appropriately.

BTW the person who had the fancyhdr + gb4e clash: could you please contact me (wvanrooijen at yahoo.com), and I'll inform Piet for a bug-report.

Cheers,
Wilfred
