Discrepancy in PDF output between linux and windows


It turns out that the pdf viewer (okular) on the linux system is the culprit (for whatever reason). When I view the pdf generated by lualatex (then posted in my dropbox account) directly in chrome (for example) - the issue disappears. Oddly enough, the issue I'm seeing is only apparent when ...

Discrepancy in PDF output between linux and windows


EDIT: Viewer problem are quite common on all platforms.

Still, MikTeX is slightly different from TeX Live. You will see real inconsistencies in the future.

I think I'll switch my Windows to be a Tex Live setup instead of MikTex.

Just curious, what kind of inconsistencies will we see in the ...

Discrepancy in PDF output between linux and windows

There's no good reason that I'm using different version of the software, I'm new to Tex and what I have installed is just how how I've been feeling my way along to arrive at this point, I certainly could switch to using the same on both systems.

However, the MikTex output seems preferable. It's not ...

Discrepancy in PDF output between linux and windows

Hey folks,

I have designs for single ...
