[XeTeX] Broken XeTeX

[John Was]

Hello

Thanks for the advice - I will investigate, but may have to reinstall (or 
install an updated version, which I guess I ought to as 2009 seems a long 
way off now).  TL Manager isn't working either so it looks as if something 
rather nasty has happened!

Best wishes


John

I just add an explanation. XeTeX builds a xdv file in memory and sends
it via a pipe to xdvipdfmx. If xdvipdfmx disappears from your
computer, you get this error message It is sufficient to get just
xdvipdfmx.exe unless other files disappeared too.

As a side note, I successfully use epubreader plugin for firefox,
there is nothing to install in a special way and it is platform
independent and free.
