Thanks!

Do you have plans concerning luatex?

LuaTeX will be integrated into MiKTeX 2.8. That reminds me that I have to update the road-map document.

Hi,

would you consider including default support for Comic Sans and http://www.k-type.com/fontlexia.html">Lexia Readable
in your distribution ?

The reason is that these fonts are helpful to dyslexic readers,
due to their readability; moreover, there is a new eu legislation which requires to prepare lecture notes for certified dyslexic students.

How is MikTeX for Linux progressing? I haven't hear much lately.

Lexia Readable isn't freely redistributable, i.e., I cannot include the
font files. Comic Sans support files are on my todo list.

MiKTeX for Linux, no plans that at the moment.

Sorry for whining, but between a coffee, a one-hour sleep, and six hours of 2.7 debugging, could you also compile a new version of mgs with GhostScript 8.60 ? This version solves a lot of my problems. Thanks.

Thank you for the reminder, I have compiled mgs 8.60. It's now in the package repository.

Thanks!

But I still don't see the mathematical constant MikTeX version number converges to...

JM M: That might be \infty.

The initexmf.exe: Windows API error 32 problem was gone with MiKTeX 2.7 Beta1, but it seems that it went back again after Beta2. I wonder what changes make this happening?

I hope Miktex 2.7 will be not able to run under Vista...lets start fighting with Microsoft for their dummy OS.
If somebody buy Vista it means he doesn't need latex
