Is the output above from TeXmacs, or from your Pdf reader ?

In other words, did you export to .pdf, and then discovered
that the .pdf is unreadable, or is it the export itself
that fails inside TeXmacs ?

I tried the export of your document under Linux, and
everything went fine. So it seems that either it is
a problem of your software for reading .pdf / .ps,
or either it is a TeXmacs problem that is specific
to the Windows version of TeXmacs :-(.

I have this problem too, on my Linux version. I stripped &
minimized it, and I discovered that in the file attached
to this email, which is made of :

a) a graphics containing a text box ;

b) the string "a" ;

c) the string "A<bot>", in math mode ;

, the postscript export is corrupted. But if :

a') I remove the text box (and I replace it by other
   graphical objects, but not a text-at) ;

   OR

b') I remove the "a" ;

   OR

c') I remove the "<bot>" ;

then everything works fine.

Do you observe the same behaviour on your machine
under Windows XP ?


So it seems that in fact, you discovered two different bugs
related to the graphics : the first one with the diagram
in your section 2.1., which doesn't appear at all on my
machine under Linux.

And the other one on the page 7 of your document, which
also exists on my machine under Linux, and reveals a
bug that stems from a strange interaction between the
graphical text boxes and the typesetting of mathematics.

Congratulations ! You are a powerful bug hunter :-) ! We
will have to correct them, now :-(...

Best, Henri
