Hi David,
I'm using version 3.0.5.065 (Unicode).
I will report it to XMetaL support and see what happens...
Are you still using XMetaL?
Have you ever used the browser preview succesfully? Once you have made
changes to the document the only thing you get are errors. I cannot believe
that these kind of errors are in XMetaL...
Thanks,
Simon.

Not. This is one of XMetaL's many limitations. Attached is a test case I
provided XMetaL support long ago. Out of curiosity, what version of XMetaL
are you using? I was working with 2.1 when I reported the problem. They're
response was basically "don't do that."
