The patch looks excellent as it adds smarts where I was lacking them -- getting the pictures converted to pdf individually may be just the way to go. Running a new build now... By chance, do you have an idea how we could control the old bug report Bas filed a few months ago on font quality? We seem to be getting better results now, maybe something changed in tetex-extra?
