[texpoint-users] TexPoint Preview not working, bad install?

TexPoint texpoint at necula.org

Hi,

 At this point I do not know what is wrong with pstoedit. It is true that I
never tested it on Win64, but I was certain it would work. However, try to
change the display format to PNG. In that case pstoedit should not be used.
Do you have problems with the preview only? Can you generate displays?

George.
