The -recorder switch of pdftex/web2c (don't know how to use that with texexec) Like so: texexec --passon=-recorder file.tex The --passon feature had lapsed in the transition from perl to ruby texexec, but Hans and Taco fixed it in one of the recent ConTeXt releases. I now use it all the time to get compiler-like error msgs: texexec --passon=-file-line-error ... filtering the output through egrep -i -A 4 '^([^ :]+:[0-9]+: |output written.*pages)' to select the error lines and a bit of context, so to speak. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.'

It took a lot of searching for a minimal case, apparently there are
many levels of interaction here. The file below has blanks for fi fl
ff when compiled with pdftex-1.40.1 but not with pdftex-1.30.5. Do you
need some parts of my tex/font setup as well?

no, but it may be related to a bug in vf handling that has been resolved
by now (new version of pdftex coming)
