Hi everyone,

arXiv incorrectly identifies PDF documents produced by TeXmacs as if they had been produced by LaTeX and blocks them, see my previous email.

Here a dirty but simple hack to work around this:
* change the document font from Computer Modern (a.k.a. Roman) to Optima—any other font except CM will probably work as well
* export to PDF
* open the PDF document in emacs, search for the string "TeXmacs" and replace the two occurrences corresponding to the PDF Creator and Producer with "T.Xmacs"

Of course, this prevents arXiv from being aware of the full content of the document. Exporting to LaTeX is still a viable (but more complicated) alternative.
