Re: [XeTeX] Vertical Japanese in memoir with fontspec

Vafa, I almost know nothing about vertical typesetting but can not you do vertical typesetting by some rotation? Yes and no. For the normal syllabic scripts and chinese characters, you can. However, there are also half-height OR half-width characters, depending on the writing direction. In h

Re: [XeTeX] Vertical Japanese in memoir with fontspec

Hi Pander, can you attach that .tex to a reply, since the page you linked to has inserted delicious and utterly useless linebreaks =) I've done Japanese vertical typesetting using XeLaTeX and Fontspce (although I ditched Memoir at some point because it wasn't playing nice enough with glossar

Re: [XeTeX] Scaling graphics

Ulrike, Well most of the graphics on my pc have either no dpi entry or 72, but I found one with 300dpi and this too is larger (x4) when used with xelatex. (it is not a graphic I can share so we can't test if it works for you too). Odd... I did a minmal example with the jpg that Jose linked to,

Re: [XeTeX] Scaling graphics

No, I can reproduce your problem with miktex 2.7 too. Your picture is 1886 pixel wide and declares its resolution to be 600 dpi. This gives a "natural" width of 8cm and this width you get with pdflatex. But xetex seems not to take the resolution into account but use a resolution of 72 dpi. Thi

As you may guess from its contents, the encoding that I am using is cp1252. If I compile this file, then, at the table of contents I get "Général de Gaulle", instead of "Général de Gaulle". I can eliminate this by commenting the line \XeTeXdefaultencoding "cp1252" but I want to have it the
