Hi Vincent,

>i encounter problems with pdf inserted in texmacs files
In my lab we routinely insert in texmacs pdf images of various origin and
99.9% of the time it works flawlessly (I admit I once saw a very complex image
produced with illustrator that did not came out correctly. That was likely a
bug in the pdf library texmacs uses, and in such rare cases you may need to
fallback to eps or png.)

>i downgraded last year to 1.99.4, for this reason
I suggest that instead you should try to get hold of a more recent version. If
you cannot compile by yourself, I guess a few Mac users could provide you with
a more recent build. Or just wait for the next version which should not be too
far away.

>the typography of the letter "A"
Geogebra accepts LaTeX in labels, isn't that enough to get the typography you
want?

>thats why i am wondering if there exists simple solutions to draw vectorial
pictures in texmacs
TeXmacs presently handles quite well the insertion of vectorial drawings (pdf,
eps, svg, whatever their source) and you already master two ways of producing
them (tikz + pdfLatex and pdf export of geogebra). It is not clear the
problem(s) you want/hope to solve by switching to yet another system. In any
case, I'm afraid there may just be too many solutions to produce vector
graphics similar to your example (texmacs already has several plugins capable
of doing that).
