Hi.

As Chris Rowley (from the latex-project.org) has suggested to me I'll
sending my last two mails (seperately) to this list ...


I've tried to use xinitials in one of my recent projects (with several
packages loaded). I experienced some strange behavior. I used a test file
TEST.TEX:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
%FORMAT: LaTeX
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}

\usepackage{Winawer}
\input{xinitials.sig}

\setlength{\overfullrule}{0.3cm}

\begin{document}
\setcounter{page}{30}
\setboolean{printermarks}{true}\cropmarks
\setboolean{statusinformations}{true}
\setboolean{baselinegrid}{false}
\setcounter{Diagramm}{1}
\setcounter{ADiagramm}{1}
\setcounter{gamenotationno}{1}

\chapter{Zur Geschichte}

\ExtendedInitial*[
  initial-font    =
\fontfamily{mtlr}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}\fontsize{69}{69}\selectfont,
  parshape-list   = {0pt,0pt,0pt,0pt},
  v-adjust        = 0pt,
  h-adjust        = -10pt,
  text-sep        = 2pt,]
{\textcolor{hks17}{N}}[\textcolor{hks17}{och}]
in der Mitte des 19.~Jahrhunderts galt die Wahl der französischen
\mbox{Verteidigung} hauptsächlich als Versuch, der umfangreichen Theorie
der offenen Spiele nach |1. e4 e5| zu entkommen: In der
damaligen »Eröffnungsbibel«, dem Handbuch von
\textsc{Bilguer}\Index{Bilguer} von 1843 stehen etwa 300~Seiten über
mögliche Spielanfänge nach |1. e4 e5| ungefähr 40~Seiten mit dem gesamten
Rest gegenüber! Die Züge |1. ... e6| und |1. ... c5| fallen hier unter die
Gattung der »unregelmäßigen Anfänge« -- bemerkenswerterweise werden beide(!)
Züge als Französisch benannt, »da sie von den französischen Spielern
besonders häufig angewendet werden«. [...]

\label{Dokumentende}
\end{document}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see a macro file winawer.sty is loaded which itself loads the
following packages:

\usepackage{type1cm}
\usepackage{pstcol}
\usepackage[dvipsone]{graphicx}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{JensonMM}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage[cam,a4center,axes]{crop}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{colortbl}

Everything compiled without an error except that \label{Dokumentende}
is not recognized (not written to the .aux file). (Why?)

When trying to use it with the complete source file I get ***different***
typeset output (on later pages). Also the index is now typeset with
justification, which is not the case without xinitials (of course with a
bunch of underfull \hboxes).

I don't know why xinitials produces different output?

I will update my TeX system and LaTeX2e and I will look at this test again.


Ulrich


Postscriptum: It's the same with the new TeX system and actual LaTeX2e
files.
And now I'm experiencing a new strange behavior as my baseline grid setup
(via PSTricks) moved about 2.5in to the left!

PPS: I know there're many packages loaded! I think I will try to reduce this
in my test file as much as possible.
