Okay, now that everything has been discussed,  is someone actually going to
add this \RequirePackage{xkeyval} to polyglossia?  If nobody else will do
it, I shall.

As things stand,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}

fails to compile cleanly.  That state of affairs can't be left to stand.

Best,
Dominik

Hi All,
Here is a slightly better solution that the one posted yesterday.
Instead of using an external program "sed" to modify the pattern file,
the perl distrubuted with texlive is used instead. 

Now there are only 3 small files:
   1) SetTex.cmd
   2) local.conf.pattern 
   3) subs.pl

The script "SetTex.cmd" can be installed where you wish. It
creates a "local.font" file with the correct letter for the drive,
redo the font cache and then call "texworks" and a command windows
with the environment variable PATH set with the path to all the TL2011
binaries plus the paths to few others useful binaries.

"subs.pl" a small perl script which substitute a specific
pattern with a disk letter in the model of the file
"local.font". This files should be located in "texmf-local/bin/win32"

The file "local.font.pattern" is the "local.fonts" files
with specifics pattern for the disk letter. This file will be
modified with the perl script. It should be installed
in "texmf-var/fonts/conf".

By modifying path in "SetTex.cmd", it is possible to adapt the script
to other configuration.

best regards,

Alain

Howdy,

Best thing to do is to ask François Charette, the listed maintainer, if he will 
do it or if he's willing to make you, or someone else who is willing to do the 
job, the maintainer of the package.

Good Luck,

François wrote me that he is no longer able to maintain it and
searches someone who will continue his work. I do not know git and
have no time to learn it. If someone oves it to subversion (or at
least cvs) and adds me as a developer, I can do it. Adding
\RequirePackage is siple and I can do it quickly (or if somebody else
does it...). There are other possible improvements but I can deal more
with the package probably only since January next year.

I do not know where and when but I think François
Charettemade
*Philipp Stephani*, the maintainer of polyglossia. Also see
https://github.com/phst

It also seems that "eg9" also has commit access to polyglossia on github.

I've added the change to the git version.  The question is whether Françcois 
(or the other person with commit permissions has the time to merge the change 
and upload the new version.)

Actually, Philipp has already proposed the same change to the git version.

Hello Mr. Shirisha Rao,
I am trying to type shankara bhashyam on Bhagwadgeeta by "Shri Bellamkonda
Rama raya kavi" my goal is to make it available on all indian languages.
I was wondering if you can help me in this regard.
I saw your example, it produces output in many languages. my latex knowledge
is very little, if you can give me some guidance to start I would greatly
appreciate it.
regards

Get more familiar with LaTeX, in particular XeLaTeX; that's an obvious place to 
start.
