[XeTeX] The arcs package
Hello,
Since the upgrade to TeX Live 2013, the arcs package behaves strangely. It
draws the desired arc under the respective characters, but a string like
5.0pt will always precede the characters with the arc. Has anyone else
noticed this problem?
I have tried this MWE with two different fonts on two computers running
Debian unstable and a vanilla TL 2013:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Junicode}
\usepackage{arcs}
\begin{document}
An underarc: \underarc{ab}. And now an overarc: \overarc{ab}.
\end{document}
Best wishes,
Arash

Thanks, Joseph and Rembrandt, for confirming this little bug.

me 6.0pt, just to be slightly different). The same happens when using
lualatex, and also with straight forward latex; so it seems a problem
with the arcs package?

Same here with 6.0pt added I looked at the package arcs from tl2012,
no changes have been done to this package...

Howdy,
The date in the arcs.sty file is:
\ProvidesPackage {arcs}[2004/05/09]
so it hasn't been touched in many years.
Good Luck,

The arcs package depends on the relsize package which did change a few months
ago in a way that requires a small change in the arcs package. You need to add
the line (just after \RequirePackage{relsize} is a good place}
\long\def \@gobblethree #1#2#3{}
and then change the line
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobbletwo
to
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobblethree
because, in relsize.sty, the macro \rs@size@warning is now defined to have
three arguments, the last of which (6.0pt) was being left as printable text.
This problem is a LaTeX issue and has nothing particular to XeTeX.

Nothing to do with XeTeX: it's due to relsize and shows up with a demo
for pdfTeX. Inside arcs.sty you find
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobbletwo
\relsize{-10}%
but in the latest relsize (dated 2013-03-29) \rs@size@warning takes
three arguments. Thus arcs needs adjusting (probaly should just leave
the relsize code alone): I've CC'd the arcs author.

Message to the arcs author bounced. I'll raise this on c.t.t.: the
package is LPPL so a change can be sorted out if he can't be found.

Re: [XeTeX] pstricks / pst-labo and xelatex
Dear Michael and all,
I reran your example, and it now works (see attached pdf). pstricks was
recently updated (2013/08/20 v2.46) and it apparently fixed the bug that
you noticed (as it fixed a bug with psclip that I had recently noticed).

Dear all,
I have a problem using pst-labo with XeLaTeX.
Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-labo}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}
\pstTubeEssais
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
I get the error message I posted below. A PDF is produced, but only the
liquid in the tube is rendered, not the tube itself.
It works fine with latex-dvips-ps2pdf, but I prefer using XeLaTeX for
several reasons.
I have already added the -dNOSAFER option in dvipdfmx.cfg and made the gs
link point to gs-noX11, but the problem persists.
By the way: I´m using MacTeX 2013 on Snow Leopard, and it used to work
with earlier versions of MacTeX.
What may be the problem?
Thank you very much in advance,
Michael
