I'm just doing my first steps on xetex... I see it can load and display *.eps
images into its pdf output, e.g. with:
$$\vbox{\centerline{\epsfbox{/path/to/some/image.eps}}}$$
So I wonder why (pity) it doesn't show Stanislav Kneifl's postscript musical
ligatures drawn with musixtex. Look at the following example:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\input musixtex
\input musixps
\nobarnumbers
\generalsignature{1}%
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}%
\startpiece
\Notes
\upz k\ql k%
\ibu0g1\ibsluru0g\qb0g\qb0h%
\qb0i\tbu0\qb0j%
\en
\bar
\Notes
{\tslur0{'d}}\hl{'.d!}%
\en
\Endpiece
\bye
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you do:
$ tex file
$ musixflx file
$ tex file
$ dvips file
$ ps2pdf file.ps
$ xpdf file.pdf
, you'll see the ligature; instead, with
$ xetex file
$ musixflx file
$ xetex file
$ xpdf file.pdf
, the ligature is not there... Not possible to have it work with xetex...?
It'd be nice...
Thanks,
Rodolfo
