<fc> The fundamental problem is that polyglossia is no longer actively maintained (since over a year now). I have offered the package to various able people (notably the guys working on the LuaLaTeX stuff) but at the end nobody took it over. The source code is available at github and everybody can clone it and make further changes. There is no reason why a moderately simple LaTeX macro package distributed under the LPPL should stay static for over a year... Unfortunately I really have NO time at my disposal, and sadly enough, since I have left academia I no longer have any use for anything TeX-related :( I think time is ripe for another message on the XeTeX mailing list to look for a new maintainer... In the meanwhile if you know someone who might be interested, please tell me! </fc> Since I do not know git and have no time to learn it, my suggestion was to move it to subversion. Although I am busy, adding \RequirePackage would be easy to me and the bug could be quickly fixed. There are other things that could (should) be fixed. I can deal with it since January next year when I am not so bus as now. > Best > Martin > > > -------------------------------------------------- > Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: > http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex > -- Zdeněk Wagner http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/wagner/ http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
