[texpoint-users] Configuring TexPoint

Tue Apr 10 18:10:36 PDT 2007

Hi,

 Did you try to change the bitmap format to PNG or BMP? (Those formats do not use pstoedit).
I cannot really tell you why ps2edit hangs (exit code 259 only means that is was still running, so it looks like there
is a bug in pstoedit) - could you send me the latex code you want to compile?

Andreas.
