Hi Michael, could you please provide some sample code for testing of the new pict2e?
Created attachment 105571 [details] LaTeX file that demonstrates pict2e This LaTeX file contains a figure that is simply a diagonal line. Processing this file with the command latex with produce a warning about pict2e. The diagonal line in the figure should be several pixels wide. However, since pict2e is not used it is only one pixel wide.
This works fine with teTeX-3.0 now. Thanks for the report.
