Hi Norbert
Yes, I can confirm this has worked before, on the 10th on January this year
(that's the latest version of a document which has
$\widetilde{\mathbf{a}}$). I've temporary reverted back to 2016.20161130-1,
as that version works. So this is a regression. Is there an easy way of
bisecting over texlive to find the breaking change?

Don't send me files in proprietary formats (.doc(x), .xls, .ppt etc.). It

and it isn't good enough for me either. For more information visit
