LaTeX beginner here...
After compiling with XeLaTex
(and no other changes), there is "weird" output at the start of the file (see image below):
Expected Behavior
With no other changes, it should compile like in pdflatex
, correct?
pdflatex
output shown below:
Steps to Reproduce
I simply changed the mentions of pdflatex
to xelatex
in compile-thesis-windows.bat, like so:
SET FILENAME=thesis
DEL "%FILENAME%.aux"
DEL "%FILENAME%.bbl"
DEL "%FILENAME%.blg"
DEL "%FILENAME%.d"
DEL "%FILENAME%.fls"
DEL "%FILENAME%.ild"
DEL "%FILENAME%.ind"
DEL "%FILENAME%.toc"
DEL "%FILENAME%.lot"
DEL "%FILENAME%.lof"
DEL "%FILENAME%.idx"
DEL "%FILENAME%.out"
DEL "%FILENAME%.nlo"
DEL "%FILENAME%.nls"
DEL "%FILENAME%.pdf"
DEL "%FILENAME%.ps"
DEL "%FILENAME%.dvi"
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode "%FILENAME%.tex"
bibtex "%FILENAME%.aux"
makeindex "%FILENAME%.aux"
makeindex "%FILENAME%.idx"
makeindex "%FILENAME%.nlo" -s nomencl.ist -o "%FILENAME%".nls
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode "%FILENAME%.tex"
makeindex "%FILENAME%.nlo" -s nomencl.ist -o "%FILENAME%".nls
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode "%FILENAME%.tex"
DEL "%FILENAME%.aux"
DEL "%FILENAME%.bbl"
DEL "%FILENAME%.blg"
DEL "%FILENAME%.d"
DEL "%FILENAME%.fls"
DEL "%FILENAME%.ild"

I can confirm the same problem here. XeLatex is completely broken even with the given unix build recipe

Hi @krishnakumarg1984 I have fixed the issue on unix XeLaTeX issue. Could you try with the latest release? Use the following command to compile?

Hi @gkampolis
I don't have a Windows system to test. If you have
latexmk
installed on Windows through TexLive or MikTex, then you can replace the content ofcompile-thesis-windows.bat
with this:and see if that helps?

Using overleaf with Xelatex compiler on windows, this issue is still replicable. I need a custom font (Verdana) so I have to use xelatex instead of pdflatex, but as a result, I am getting this error. Please help!
