Hi Zack, Paul, I see the same phenomenon with 2.71
This is the most puzzling thing, since for me I definitely get different results with 2.71 and 2.72e (which is why I reported it). I can't imagine what else in my configure.ac would have caused the difference, but I guess there must be something. Happily, we can "never mind" looking into it further, because: Unquote "kpse_otftotfm_auto_opts" in the second foreach (the one that invokes AC_DEFINE), I redid this, and it did solve the problem. I must have been looking at the wrong output among my myriad tests before. Sorry for the noise. and insert a newline immediately after the close parenthesis of the AS_IF(). There was already a newline there. I see I failed to insert the final line of the m4_foreach_w in my mail. Sorry about that too. Thanks to you both. -k
