Hi
After being very frustrated when trying to create a Beamer handout, I
tried the minimal example below, which I found on the 'net. No go: like
before, the slides output were too large for the pagesize and I got only
the top left portion of each slide, regardless of options.
Then, when I changed the engine to plain LaTeX, it worked fine. Any
idea what's going on? I really need unicode so this is not an acceptable
solution for me. (In which case I use polyglossia, not babel; but that's
orthogonal to my problem.)
Outputs attached.
Thanks
