The last time this came up, I did some research into the dependencies of the newer TeX engines (XeTeX, pdfTex, luaTeX). Seems they all depend on a PDF-manipulation library written in C++. But so long as you stick to the tex | dvips | ghostscript route, there's some really nice stuff that's been done in the last ten years in TeX that can be ported to Plan 9. —Joel
