# Find configuration files

```sh
kpsewhich --progname=dvipdfmx --format=othertext dvipdfmx.cfg
```

# Prevent ligatures in monospaced text

* Use `\/` for one-offs in `\texttt{…}`.
* With the `fontspec` package:
  * Use `\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=]{…}`.
  * Some fonts that have switchable features. For example, with Iosevka: `\defaultfontfeatures[Iosevka Light]{RawFeature={+ss03;-calt}}` (`-calt` switches off ligatures).
* Use a monospaced font that doesn’t provide ligatures. (!)

# PDF hacks

## Generate a PDF containing a mixture of n-up and normal pages

```sh
pdflatex --jobname=foo "\documentclass[a4paper,landscape]{article}\usepackage{pdfpages}\begin{document}\includepdf[pages=1-10,nup=2x1]{inputfile}\includepdf[pages=11]{inputfile}\end{document}"
```

## Generate an A3 2-up document

```sh
pdfjam --outfile output.pdf --paper a3paper --landscape input.pdf -
```

Alternatively:

```sh
pdflatex --jobname=foo "\documentclass{article}\usepackage[a3paper,landscape]{geometry}\usepackage{pdfpages}\begin{document}\thispagestyle{empty}\includepdf[pages=-,nup=2x1]{inputfile}\end{document}"
```
