Re: [XeTeX] Runaway argument issues
Two further notes: I am using utf-8 as the input encoding, and setting a main font doesn't help. Also [chris@chris-dev2 xetex_test]$ rpm -q texlive-xetex texlive-xetex-2007-51.fc13.i686 Best Wishes, Chris Travers -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

When I run this with xelatex, I get:
Runaway argument?
{Descripci�� \endhead \end {longtable} \par \end {document} \par
! File ended while scanning use of \textbf .
Now, if I replace the ó with \'o, that part works fine (but then why
would I be using xelatex?) but the Número ends up displaying as N.
As far as I can tell the problem is with handling of multibyte
characters. Removing the \textbf{} from around the problem phrase
ends up having it rendered as Descripciendhead, suggesting several
more bytes are being assumed to be part of the character than actually
are.

Howdy,
1)Did you save the file as UTF-8 Unicode?
2)What you have will use Computer Modern which doesn't have the accented
characters as single glyphs so it doesn't know how to handle them. To use Latin
Modern by default add
\usepackage{fontspec}
in the preamble and, if you want to use a system font (e.g., Linux Libertine)
ad the line
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
in the preamble after the fontspec load.
Good Luck,

Moreover, without fontspec the definition of \textbf is different, I
have tried by \tracingall. Anyway, it compiled without runaway
argument at my computer.

Re: [XeTeX] Runaway argument issues
I found the problem. For some reason the file was being saved as the wrong encoding. Problem was fixed by: iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 ./invoice.tex ./invoice2.tex I am still having trouble getting xeLaTeX to play well with Perl's Template::Latex module but I'm afraid that's beyond the scope of this list :-) Best Wishes, Chris Travers -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

Less of an option when trying to support applications I write on long-term support distros like RHEL, Ubuntu LTS, and Debian.. I understand your demand for stability but sticking to some distros need not be the best solution. For instance. RHEL 4.x always distributed buggy ghostscript although the bug (reported by me) was fixed years ago. The RHEL people prefer preserving the bug to upgrading gs from 7.x to 8.x. It was upgraded in RHEL 5.0.
