[XeTeX] Updating XeTeX (plain) for PS Tricks

[John Was]

I think I've installed the correct binaries now but still have no luck with PS Tricks - as before, the file processes and a PDF is produced, but with blanks where some PSTrickery should be happening (and as before, the one thing that does work is that \rput commands do move bits of text physically around the page as expected).  The only thing outstanding (after which I'll just give up if it doesn't work!) is the correct setting of template_distiller in the dvipdfmx.cfg file.  The version of that file in the 'xetex-dev' zipped archive doesn't work, and indeed is date-stamped 2005, so I guess it's rather a question of adding or adjusting some entries in the current TL version of the file?  Can anyone let me know what these should be, or point me to a version of the file with the correct settings in place?

Best


John

    Thanks Jonathan

    I'm using Windows XP so with luck the work will have been done for me, though I don't really want it to overwrite my TeXLive distribution completely 



  As far as I understand it, you can just replace the xdvipdfmx binary in TL with the one from Akira's package. (Obviously, keep the old one somewhere just in case!)


  Not speaking from experience, as I'm not on Windows, but I'd think it's worth trying....
