Well yes, everyone can easily attach a tree. On the other side texlive-dist is a very large tree, it will be searched before the main tree of miktex and miktex will see everything: ini-files, updmap.cfg etc. So this can affect formats, scripts, documentation, font maps files ... So I don't think it is a good idea to add this tree permantly to miktex. But for tests it is fine. But I have other trees with local files which I added to both systems and use with both systems. This works fine. - But it is much more confortable to add and remove a tree in miktex then in TeXLive. I simply call initexmf --register-root=path/to/root and initexmf --unregister-root=path/to/root. > By the way, polyglossia won't work for French with LuaTeX < 0.76 > (because of node.end_of_math()). As polyglossia until now didn't work for luatex at all I would say that's not so problematic. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
