J�rgen: Thanks for your report, which I think is the first one from a

applying the attached patch)? Have you run into any other problems? What
TeX distribution are you using?

It works from current svn. I'm running miktex2.7. I have seen some font mismatch problems but I'm not sure they are bugs. But I will get back to you on those.
