Hi Reinhard,

...

...
Here is the try of a patch, which also shows what happens with the above file. Reinhard, does it remove the warnings in your case?

Yes, after I applied your patch, the warnings don't appear any more.

In this respect, the released version seems to be the same as rc4: I see the warning with cmap.sty. Thanks, Akira

Best, v.

Shall I upload a patched version? I hesitated because Vladimir said "probably pdftex should not auto-assign the /ToUnicode mapping if a macro-package does this explicitly." Don't know what the patch is doing.

pdftex needs to be explicitly told to include the vectors (done by setting \pdfgentounicode) so if there are two vectors, then the macro package is behaving badly Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

The whole unicode thing is missing from the manual... :-( Best Martin

I'm also waiting for Thanh's opinion. And I still haven't got a proper bug report. Best Martin

Sorry, but I can't tell you much more because I'm not so familiar with PDF and pdftex internals. All I can tell you that I get warnings like pdfTeX warning (\pdffontattr): font \^^@ has conflicting attributes when I run pdflatex urwvn-test.tex and cmap.sty is present. To reproduce it, cd texmf-dist/doc/generic/vntex/tests && pdflatex urwvn-test.tex If you do not get the warnings, check whether cmap.sty is loaded. cmap.sty is loaded only if it exists. The reason is that we want to allow people who have an older TeX installation (which does not provide cmap.sty) to use the latest vntex release. It is certainly a bug that no warning message appears but this will be fixed in the next release. You can run make distclean afterwards. It's safe to run the Makefile in an svn tree.

i assume that this warning is up to the macro package; context does not use the cmap.sty file Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
